1.10 Hollywoodbets Horse Racing And Sports Betting Handicap 5f

Big Gossey has to carry a big weight but victory here could still be within his reach. He is a dual course winner who showed up very well on his last start here to chase home Pulse Of Shanghai and his latest run is easily forgiven as it came on tacky ground at the Curragh last month. He was also beaten by just over four lengths into fifth in a Group 3 over this course and distance last season which is a level of form that these rivals would struggle to match.

Big Gossey could have most to fear from Mrs Bouquet who was one and three-quarter lengths behind him in the race won by Pulse Of Shanghai in February.

SELECTION: BIG GOSSEY

Next best: Mrs Bouquet

A chance is taken on Port Lockroy who has more room for improvement than most of these. This four-year-old has run just five times and he will need to better his last start over this course and distance.

However, his previous second to the progressive Chateau Musar when he was beaten by just under a length represents a strong piece of form. He will take all the beating if he can replicate that effort.

Indignation has ground to make up on Fallen Forest from their meeting here in early March but the latter needs to bounce back from an eighth to Storm Steps.

SELECTION: PORT LOCKROY

Next best: Indignation

2.20 Hollywoodbets Punters Challenge Tipping Competition Handicap 1m 2f 150yds

Astadash might be able to defy top weight on her first handicap outing. On her eighth and final start as a three-year-old she ran out a clear-cut winner of a maiden over this course and distance and the form of that race looks sufficiently useful to put her in with a good chance. Furthermore, she showed very useful form earlier last season, notably when third in a Leopardstown maiden won by Ennistymon, and she looks reasonably treated on a mark of 83.

She might have most to fear from Blue Shadow who has shown up well on his four Polytrack outings. His latest fifth to Thunder Kiss isn’t a bad run as that looked quite a hot handicap. The hat-trick chasing Tooreen Angel warrants every consideration as does Sense Of Worth although the latter was hit with an eye-watering 15lbs hike for his nose victory here last week.

SELECTION: ASTADASH

Next best: Blue Shadow

2.55 Hollywoodbets Proudly Donates To Irish Horse Welfare Trust Handicap (45-65) 1m

After posting a number of solid efforts in defeat, Burning Lake deservedly got his turn over this course and distance last week when he edged out Kinch by a neck. The five-year-old now has a 6lb rise in the weights to contend with but that may not be enough to prevent him from following up.

Kinch is in the line up once again and he is 3lbs better off for that neck beating which gives him every chance of turning the tables. He is expected to mount a strong challenge.

SELECTION: BURNING LAKE

Next best: Kinch

3.30 Hollywoodbets Best Odds Guaranteed Handicap 7f

Vazzy looks quite interesting on his return to action. He showed enough towards the end of his two-year-old campaign to suggest that he could win a race of this nature, with his third to Chevillon over one mile here in November quite an encouraging effort. He wears blinkers and a tongue-tie for the first time and both could help his cause.

On a line through Chevillon, the selection is closely matched with Flying Rock, who defeated the first-named by a length and a half over this course and distance in December.

SELECTION: VAZZY

Next best: Flying Rock

4.05 Hollywoodbets Proud To Support Irish Racing Handicap 7f

Polytrack specialist Major Power can bolster his already excellent course record. Eddie Lynam’s charge has won five of his last 10 outings on this surface and now competes off a career-high mark of 90 after edging out Prisoner’s Dilemma over this course and distance early last month.

He might just be able to keep pace with his revised rating and he is taken to see off another steady improver in Alhaazm.

The latter comes here chasing a four-timer and returned from a winter break in excellent heart to defeat Leadership Race by a length and three-quarters over this course, over a mile, here last month. The last-named is 8lbs better off and his rider claims a valuable 5lbs, so he is going to enjoy quite a pull at the weights which should bring him right into contention.

SELECTION: MAJOR POWER

Next best: Alhaazm

4.40 Hollywoodbets Horse Racing And Sports Betting Handicap (45-65) 6f

Slade Runner has made a positive start to the year on Polytrack and he can make the most of his low draw. He is 6lbs higher than when winning over this course and distance in January but has since run well off his revised mark as evidenced by placed efforts behind Sunset Nova and Masalai.

He can see off No Speed Limit who has put together a couple of good runs lately and might reverse recent five-furlong form with Adams Barbour who edged him out in a recent handicap at this track.

SELECTION: SLADE RUNNER

Next best: No Speed Limit

5.15 Hollywoodbets Proudly Sponsors The Finishing Line Podcast Fillies Maiden 6f

Shahaada makes plenty of appeal. She showed lots of promise on her only run last season when finishing second in the seven-furlong Loder Race at the Curragh and that effort would suggest she will have no trouble making her mark in a maiden this season.

The drop back in trip isn’t a concern for her and she can deal with Roses Blue who was quite disappointing on her second start last season, having started out with a most encouraging second to More Beautiful at Naas in June. A return to her Naas form would make her a formidable foe for Shahaada.

SELECTION: SHAHAADA

Next best: Roses Blue
