Don Virginia recent form: analyst notes

  • Pos 6 22 Jan Huntingdon

    Held up handy in the pack - drew alongside the front-runner before 3 out then lost that position before 2 out - dropped away rapidly approaching the last

  • Pos 4 29 Dec Newbury

    Handy early - shared front spot then went clear at 2nd - pressed and overtaken before 2 out - stayed on at one gear into last - faded close home to finish 4th

  • Pos 5 24 Oct Cheltenham

    Set the pace before being headed early - sat in behind after that - clipped a couple of obstacles including the 6th - dropped away from second three out and faded out of contention

  • Pos 1 26 Sep Worcester

    Disputed front spot early before hitting the front after the 4th - injected speed heading to 5 out - opened a big advantage nearing 3 out - eased down under hands riding to score comfortably
