FormscanBy Tom Weekes - Tramore plays host to the fourth summer meeting of OPEN THE GATE and Elle Dorado Rock, with improvement expected from both, in this very weak maiden. OPEN THE GATE is out of a Moyglare-bred winner and while below par, having been eased, on his third hurdle outing at Listowel, had previously shown ability twice in May. Elle Dorado Rock has less inspiring form-figures and was tailed off on the flat recently but is a nicely-related homebred and looks a work in progress. College Causeway has twice finished behind more prominently-ridden Flyaway Maggie but stayed on from off the pace at Roscommon, suggesting he can turn form. Chinook, by Sea The Stars, was beaten 49 lengths at Punchestown but had previously caught the eye at Kilbeggan, beating 96-rated All About Beth while Gordon Elliott's Up And Out was well beaten in two recent bumpers.
