Beat The Bat recent form: analyst notes

  • Pos 8 10 Jan Kempton

    Tracked front pack early - pushed along before 2 out - dropped away nearing the last - finished 8th

  • Pos 3 5 Dec Exeter

    Settled towards the back early - hesitant over some obstacles and needed encouragement around the 8th - made headway to challenge the front two after four out - stayed on without threatening to finish third

  • Pos 5 1 May Punchestown

    Settled just behind the front group on the rail - 4th two out then pushed along - 5th approaching the last - held that place with no more to offer

  • Pos 4 12 Mar Cheltenham

    Sat close to the front early - hit the front two out - driven up but overtaken straightening for home - dropped to third near the last - faded on the run-in
