Good third of 12 in handicap at Kempton (6f) when last seen in October. Should be bang there if ready to roll on return.

Won at Southwell in February and went in again over this C&D in March. Good second of 13 in handicap (12/1) at Wolverhampton (6f) last weekend. Another bold show is likely.

Four of his 5 wins this winter came over C&D but latest run here (5f) was disappointing and he remains 5 lb above his last successful mark.

Career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Southwell (6f, 10/1) 18 days ago, just holding on. Another who arrives in form and can't be discounted.

Forecasts

Shalaa Asker (11/8), Beyond Equal (11/2), Blackjack (6/1), Impeach (6/1), Em Jay Kay (9/1), Alafdhal (10/1), Concierge (14/1)

Verdict

In a competitive sprint the vote goes the way of the thriving SHALAA ASKER. The returning Beyond Equal has run well when fresh before and is down to a feasible mark so he's second choice ahead of Em Jay Kay and Impeach.
