Ring aiming to be King It looks set to be fast and furious in the feature event on the final day of the Tramore Festival with plenty of pace up front looking assured in the Richard Power Private Client Betting Handicap Hurdle. Dazzling Susie usually blazes a trail in her races and another of her rivals, The Ring Is King, can also be a free-going sort. Getting a lead at a searching gallop worked out well for The Ring Is King in Sligo last time, as he was able to settle behind the front-runner, and things could pan out similarly for Paul Flynn's charge. He powered clear in the closing stages then to secure a convincing five-length success and having shown improvement on the level this year, there also looks more to come from him over timber. Eoin Doyle has a great record at his local track and his two runners deserve respect in the two-mile event. Doyle has claimed the previous two runnings of the race and last year's victor King High returns. He also saddles Roman Numeral, who didn't run too badly returning from a break at Galway, having been in fine form in the spring. Course form is always a big plus around the tight, undulating track and Gusty Rocky, a winner on the level here in May, looks the one to beat in the opening maiden hurdle. Pat Flynn's gelding shaped with promise on his hurdling debut at Galway and looks to face an easier task now. The Dermot Weld-trained Marty's Magic, who perhaps went off too quick in front on the level at Sligo, may prove the danger. Willie Mullins will be hoping Alileo jumps better as he returns to hurdles in the Frank Gillane Memorial Maiden Hurdle after performing well on the Flat recently.
