Asa (5/2), Smart Bucks (11/4), La Higuera (10/3), Bollin Matilda (11/2), Superior Glance (13/2), Wee Alki (10/1), Moveonbuy (12/1), Evenwood Sonofagun (20/1), Slievehill (22/1), De Deli Counter (50/1)
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.
