★ Recent form analyst notes

  • Pos 9 19 Sep Newbury

    Sluggish start - never in touch with the main group - trailed home well beaten in 9th

  • Pos 1 7 Sep Newton Abbot

    Tracked the pace near the front - pushed on to hit the front nearing the final fence and fended off a challenger - stayed in command to the line

  • Pos 15 21 Aug York

    Went wide from the off - up with the pace early - pressed for effort with 3f left before fading fast - well held at the finish

  • Pos 1 15 Aug Newbury

    Set the pace throughout - pushed on to open up a couple of furlongs from home - drew away in the closing stages to score easily
