Lifting Sails recent form: analyst notes

  • Pos 13 3 May Cork

    Slow to begin - settled near the back and 9th at halfway - asked for effort over 3f out but made no dent on leaders - well held at the finish

  • Pos 13 20 Nov Lingfield (AW)

    Raced with plenty of enthusiasm early to set the pace - lost the advantage after 3f but stayed close up - asked for effort with 2f left but unable to gain ground - dropped away rapidly inside the final furlong to finish well beaten in 13th

  • Pos 1 1 Oct Bellewstown

    Went straight to front - clear by a length with 3f remaining - shaken up to move further clear inside final furlong - stayed on strongly and allowed to coast home close to the line for an effortless success

  • Pos 3 23 Aug Curragh

    Settled just behind the front runner early - still in second at halfway - shifted wide entering the straight and slipped to third with no headway made a furlong out - held effort to the line in third
