LOOK to Lasata to land the Sidney Phillips For Pubs Handicap Chase at Hereford today.

Robert Carson's 11-year-old has yet to set the world alight since arriving from Ireland, where he won six races. But he ran his best race yet in England at Windsor last week.

Taking up the running four from home, Lasata led until the penultimate flight but could not match Zeredar's turn of foot, going down by four lengths. He holds Fichu and Sister Rosza on that form and should be approaching peak fitness now.

Lasata has done most of his racing at around two miles but stays today's extra three furlongs well. And though Over The Pole, Star of Italy and Winspit are all interesting on their respective reappearances, Lasata can put his race fitness to good advantage.

Racing on the same mark as at Windsor, he gets the day's nap vote.

At Market Rasen, Ivy House, can outstay his rivals in the Alexandra Motors Handicap Chase over three and a half miles.

Jonjo O'Neill's eight-year-old was travelling like a winner when unseating his rider at the last at Bangor last month.

But he soon made amends in a three mile three furlong handicap at Sedgefield, easily beating Aly Daley three and a half lengths.

Now he has got his act together, Ivy House can defy a 7lb rise in the weights.

Highland Park is a confident choice in the Bob Kett Conditional Jockeys' Selling Handicaps Hurdle.

The 10-year-old proved a shade better than a plater last season, scooting up in a novices' handicap at Carlisle.

He has twice finished third this season.
