La Higuera
Lightly-raced LA HIGUERA has chased home a couple of improvers on his previous two starts and this could be a good opportunity to open his account. Asa had a productive time of things this time last year and is feared back in a 0-100, while Bollin Matilda has claims if backing up her Musselburgh third. Slievehill warrants a second look in the betting upped markedly in trip on handicap bow.

Placed in Irish points. Found only an improving sort too good at Haydock and would have finished second behind a handicap blot barring a late mistake at Uttoxeter (23.3f) latest. Forecast rain should make this a test of stamina and he looks a thorough stayer. Solid claims.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosUttoxeter2m 7f 70yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle3/13Haydock Park3m 58yGood to SoftHurdle2/7Ffos Las2m 7f 191ySoftHurdle3/10Fontwell Park2m 5f 164yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle4/5Uttoxeter2m 7f 70yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle4/6- 2AsaJ: Joe WilliamsonT: Philip Kirby1F-8976Age 711/47/23/1

Won twice over fences last season and also bagged a 3m handicap at Southwell (soft). Yet to hit top form this time around but there were more positives signs at Musselburgh last month and she's one to consider eased in grade.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosMusselburgh2m 7f 180yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle6/13Kelso2m 4f 189yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle7/14Aintree3m 149yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle9/12Kelso2m 4f 189yGoodHurdle8/8Catterick Bridge3m 1f 71yGood to Soft (Soft in places)HurdleF/11- 10Smart BucksJ: Danny McMenaminT: Philip Kirby6-6P642Age 67/23/110/3

Maiden who has shown a bit more over hurdles for headgear/step up in trip, fourth at Wetherby (24.1f, soft) prior to finishing well held second in thin handicap at Hereford (25.5f, soft) 10 days ago, going in snatches. This more competitive.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosHereford3m 1f 119ySoftHurdle2/7Wetherby3m 26ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle4/16Sedgefield2m 3f 188ySoftHurdle6/10Fakenham2m 4f 1yGoodHurdlepu/6Sedgefield2m 3f 188yGoodHurdle6/12- 7Bollin MatildaJ: Theo GillardT: Donald Whillans1/6-P73Age 87/27/210/3

Improver when landing a pair of 3m handicaps in spring 2024. Stood little racing since but bounced back to form (supported) when close third in 13-runner handicap at Musselburgh (23.8f, good to soft) 31 days ago. Definite player, if she can back that up.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosMusselburgh2m 7f 180yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle3/13Ayr3m 70yHeavy (Soft in places)Hurdle7/10Hexham2m 7f 63yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdlepu/10Ayr3m 70ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle6/13Perth2m 7f 207ySoftHurdle1/11- 3Wee AlkiJ: Conor RabbittT: Susan Corbett-22041PAge 712/112/111/1

Out-and-out stayer who went close twice at Kelso at the start of the season and wasn't winning out of turn when seeing off 9 rivals at Hexham in November. Well-backed but never travelling there last time but type to bounce back.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosHexham2m 7f 63yHeavyHurdlepu/9Hexham2m 7f 63yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle1/10Hexham2m 7f 63yGood to SoftHurdle4/8Hexham2m 4f 28yGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle10/15Kelso3m 100yGoodHurdle2/6- 9MoveonbuyJ: William MaggsT: Andrew Crook4-47140Age 616/116/118/1

Much improved when winning handicap at Cartmel (22f, heavy) in June and plausible excuses for pair of below par efforts last month.

Winning Irish pointer hinted at promise when fifth in 2m Kelso novice but shaped as though amiss when tailed off in maiden at Huntingdon (15.8f, good) on qualifying run in November. Given a break and interesting to see if he's supported now upped markedly in trip on handicap debut.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosHuntingdon1m 7f 171yGoodHurdle11/13Kelso2m 51yGoodHurdle5/13Worcester2mGoodHurdle4/8Fairyhouse2mSoft to Heavy (Heavy in places)Bumper4/8- Non-Runners

Lightly-raced veteran (won sole point start) who gave it a good go from the front when third on return at Hexham (23.3f, heavy) but disappointed when pulled-up at Uttoxeter 22 days ago. Needs to bounce back but booking of Sean Bowen gives cause for optimism.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosUttoxeter2m 7f 70yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdlepu/13Hexham2m 7f 63yHeavyHurdle3/9Bangor-on-dee2m 7f 32yHeavyHurdle3/5Southwell3m 60yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle2/9Market Rasen2m 2f 140yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle5/8- 1Evenwood SonofagunWithdrawnJ: Ross ChapmanT: Lizzie Quinlan2063F70Age 8

Landed a quick-fire double at Cartmel in May but hit and miss since, latest when held in Class 4 handicap at Catterick (19.3f, good, 40/1) 25 days ago. Drops into a 0-100 for the first time in a while and worth checking if the betting hints at a resurgence back up in trip.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCatterick Bridge2m 3f 66yGoodHurdle10/14Musselburgh2m 3f 171yGood to SoftHurdle7/11Perth2m 7f 207yGood (Good to Soft in places)HurdleF/7Perth2m 7f 207yGoodHurdle3/8Cartmel2m 6f 31yGoodHurdle6/9- 8De Deli CounterWithdrawnJ: Jamie HamiltonT: Mark Walford46PUAge 5

Fourth of 5 finishers in Irish point in May last year. No show in novice/maiden hurdles and was sent off at long odds in first-time visor (retained) when unseating early on handicap debut 7 days ago.
