Produced a career best when winning a 7-runner handicap at Kempton in March, proving ¾-length too strong for Brazen Idol, but below form when attempting to follow up there last time.

Didn't need to improve when winning 6-runner minor event at Lingfield last time by neck from Alasrae. Runner-up has franked the form since and still unexposed as a sprinter.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosLingfield Park6f 1yStandardFlat1/6Lingfield Park7f 1yStandardFlat8/12Kempton Park7fStandard / SlowFlat9/12Lingfield Park1m 1yStandardFlat2/12Brighton7f 216yGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat2/12- 4(9)ShazaniJ: Alistair RawlinsonT: Roy Bowring81020-0Age 45/15/19/2

Career-best when second over 7f at Doncaster last October but flopped badly on return, finishing last of 15.

Has held his form well on the all-weather, making the frame on 4 of his 5 starts this year and shaping on his last 2 as though a first win is near. Turf is an unknown, but there is no obvious reason why he should not prove at least as effective on this surface.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosWolverhampton7f 36yStandardFlat3/10Wolverhampton7f 36yStandardFlat2/11Wolverhampton1m 142yStandardFlat4/8Southwell1m 13yStandardFlat10/12Wolverhampton7f 36yStandardFlat3/7- 6(5)Rogue AllegianceJ: Hector CrouchT: Jack Jones03009-6Age 415/213/27/1

Struggled after winning at Yarmouth last June but has come back down the handicap as a result and now finds himself on his last winning mark. Has tended to need a run or 2 to get up to speed in the past, though, so absence a concern.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosPontefract6fSoft (Good to Soft in places)Flat6/13Ayr6fSoftFlat19/25Southwell6f 16yStandardFlat10/10Ripon6fGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat8/17Nottingham6f 18yGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat7/10- 5(8)Invincible SpeedJ: Paddy BradleyT: Mark Loughnane964-144Age 510/18/19/1

Failed to improve for switch to handicap company at Leicester last September, but steps back in trip here and, from a late-maturing family her yard has enjoyed success with, remains one who could do better as a 4-y-o.
