★ Recent form analyst notes

  • Pos 1 8 May Market Rasen

    Went straight to front - drifted left over opening fence - soon overtaken - closed on pace setter 3 out - pushed along - edged back in front close home - won going away

  • Pos 2 28 Mar Stratford

    Took the initiative early - passed 12th and kept tabs on the front - pushed along after 2 out - kept on without troubling the winner to finish second

  • Pos 17 12 Mar Cheltenham

    Held up at the back - labouring in 7th - hit the 9th awkwardly - beaten by two out and well held to the line

  • Pos 4 26 Dec Wincanton

    Tracked the front group in 6th - pressed for effort and lost touch before 2 out - dropped away late to finish 4th
