Manganese recent form: analyst notes

  • Pos 7 12 Mar Cheltenham

    Held handy in the early stages - pushed along after the second-last - faded on the turn before the final fence - found renewed effort to finish steadily without threatening the front - eventually came home in 7th

  • Pos 1 24 Jan Doncaster

    Fluent early - set the pace throughout - pushed on with one rival from 2 out - driven when pressed after the last but held on gamely

  • Pos 1 16 Dec Catterick

    Settled in the pack early moving with ease - crept onto the heels of the front-runner before the 4th - eased forward to hit the front approaching 2 out - holding the advantage nearing the last - pushed out to draw away and score

  • Pos 1 17 Nov Leicester

    Sent clear early - seriously hampered by a loose horse and lost front spot before the 3rd - tracked the front-runner from the 4th - pressed for effort 2 out - held even effort into the last - rallied strongly to get up close home
