Formscan - Wee Alki pulled up at Hexham last time and the seven-year-old, who had won at the same venue the time before, is entitled to bounce back to form. However, LA HIGUERA is still learning his trade but he has still posted a trio of solid efforts in handicaps. Toby Lawes' gelding is 2lb well-in following a Uttoxeter third on New Year's Eve, as the winner of that contest has scored twice since and runs in the second division, and any further improvement could allow him to break the maiden tag. Bollin Matilda is also noted.
