Jonbon recent form: analyst notes

  • Pos 2 12 Mar Cheltenham

    Sat close to pace early - clipped fence 13th - dropped to third after 4 out - drifted left 3 out and needed urging - found extra to retake second before the last - kept going but outclassed in defeat

  • Pos 1 14 Feb Ascot

    Settled just behind the pace early - shared front running from 4 out and hit the deck 3 out before being sent along and losing place - rallied to share front spot near the last despite a mistake there - soon asserted alone - stayed on well to score

  • Pos 1 17 Jan Ascot

    Shared front early - lost front spot soon after start - awkward at 8th - pushed along and slipped to third 3 out drifting left - pressed for effort - moved up to challenge 2 out - fought back to share front at the last - pulled clear to score

  • Pos 2 6 Dec Sandown

    Went straight to front - clumsy at 2nd - challenged for advantage 3 out - pushed along and overtaken 2 out - soon outclassed by winner - held on for second at similar effort late
