★ Recent form analyst notes

  • Pos 8 11 Oct Chepstow

    Held up in the pack - going poorly throughout - error at the 2nd and jumping clumsy 4th - dropped to the back 4 out - detached after and beaten out of sight in 8th

  • Pos 7 18 Apr Ayr

    Held up in rear throughout - jumping errors along the way - never a factor - eventually well beaten in 7th

  • Pos 6 12 Feb Taunton

    Went straight to front - lost command after 3 out then dropped away quickly under pressure - lacked fluency at the last and well held at the finish

  • Pos UR 31 Jan Musselburgh

    Spun at the off - dislodged rider before racing began
