HOLYCROSS Ace gets the nap vote in the A1 over 450 metres tonight.

Richard Baker’s dog, beaten by just a head by the consistent Caribbean Bill last time out, can put his strong finish to good effect here.

Pawseys Pride comes back after lameness and anywhere near his trial time will take all the beating with his scorching early pace. Add Holdem Joe for the forecasts.

Pennys Best, caught on the run-in last time out, can make amends in the S2 over six bends tonight.

Tony Magnasco’s charge is sure to set a good pace and can see the race out this time with dangers Silkmore Sunset and Dublinyourmoney in the shake-up.
