IVAN'S A STAR finally notched up his first victory when scoring at Wolverhampton last week but despite taking 15 starts to get off the mark he is pretty consistent at this level. Stan Moore's charge went close over 7f here last month and is the one the beat. With the majority of the remainder struggling for form it could be the unexposed Algris who gives him most to think about, although Miss Cosette improved a shade last time.
