★ Recent form analyst notes

  • Pos 3 25 Sep Worcester

    Settled in third early - dropped away by the front two from three out - soon well adrift - finished third

  • Pos 11 9 May Haydock

    Held up in the pack - urged forward 3 out - dropped away from 2 out - well held at the finish

  • Pos 1 15 Apr Haydock

    Sat handy behind pace - moved powerfully into second before two out then went clear - drifted right under a push approaching last where cleared it well - stayed on to win

  • Pos 2 28 Feb Doncaster

    Sat third early - pushed into second before the final fence to challenge the front-runner - battled on gamely up the run-in but narrowly denied
