Aviation recent form: analyst notes

  • Pos 1 2 Feb Kempton

    Handy early - edged ahead after 1st - urged forward approaching 3 out - drew away after last and stayed on strongly

  • Pos 3 16 Jan Windsor

    Handy early and asked for effort with four to jump - moved through to share the front three out - quickly lost that spot and slipped to fourth - lost more ground approaching the last - found renewed energy up the run-in to finish third

  • Pos 2 17 Dec Newbury

    Handy early spot - closing on the front pair by the 12th - edged in front approaching two out - pushed along and overtaken soon after then kept trying but not quite able to reel in the winner

  • Pos 6 11 Nov Lingfield

    settled in the pack - nudged along and edged forward before falling back to fifth approaching 3 out - soon lost touch - eventually finished sixth
