★ Recent form analyst notes

  • Pos 5 14 Oct Ffos Las

    Settled at the back early - close enough 3 out - urged along before 2 out then kept on at an even gait to the last - finished 5th

  • Pos PU 10 Apr Aintree

    Set out near the front - hit the front after 2nd fence before giving it up after the 3rd - settled into the pack early on - dropped away around the 10th - toiling by the 13th - pulled up before two out

  • Pos PU 26 Dec Kempton

    Went straight to front - lost command approaching 3 out and blundered there - form fell away rapidly - eased out of contention before the finish

  • Pos PU 22 Nov Ascot

    Tracked the pace early - slipped back through the field to 14th - faded before 3 out - soon eased and pulled up
