Contacto recent form: analyst notes

  • Pos 3 11 Jan Fontwell

    Up with the early leaders - jumped poorly at the 4th - pressed for effort approaching 2 out - stayed on after the last but lacked the gears to threaten

  • Pos 4 17 Dec Newbury

    Settled midfield early - stumbled badly first before racing in touch and shifting right approaching the following fence - pressed for third after two out - soon outpaced finishing fourth

  • Pos 2 17 Oct Haydock

    Tracked the front pack early - moved into second spot 3f out - hit the front 2f out - pressed and lost the advantage inside the final furlong - stayed on but unable to reel in the winner finishing 2nd

  • Pos 2 27 Sep Haydock

    Sat close to the pace early - pressed for effort and lost touch over 2f out - found renewed energy out wide inside the final furlong - flew home to be edged out by a whisker
