★ Recent form analyst notes

  • Pos 1 2 Oct Hexham

    In mid-pack and wide all the way - closed on the front pair 3 out - up to second on the bend before the last - pushed along after the last - stayed on strongly to hit the front inside the final 110yds - pulled clear to win

  • Pos 3 16 Jul Worcester

    set the pace from the off - driven 2 out - mistake at the last and overtaken with nothing more to give

  • Pos 7 6 Jun Worcester

    Towards the back and fencing inexpertly throughout - never threatened and finished a distant 7th

  • Pos 6 28 May Worcester

    Held up handy in the early stages - lost ground approaching two out - dropped away after the final fence - finished sixth well beaten
