Fact To File recent form: analyst notes

  • Pos 2 29 Apr Punchestown

    Set the pace early - caught and stumbled 5 out - matched up 3 out - driven and lost front spot entering straight - unable to fight back - held on for second without finding more

  • Pos 1 2 Feb Leopardstown

    Sat just behind the front group early - still 5th at halfway - moved through to hit the front for a moment after 4 out then regained command before 2 out and pulled clear approaching the last - driven out to hold on stoutly to the line

  • Pos 6 26 Dec Kempton

    Settled midfield - urged forward 3f out - fell away under pressure after 2f out - eventually finished sixth

  • Pos 2 23 Nov Punchestown

    Settled in 2nd from the off - still 2nd but well adrift of the front-running rival after the 4th - further back in 2nd after the 7th - moved up to press before 3 out - hit the front before the last - surrendered the advantage in the run-in - stayed on but beaten a short-head
