★ Recent form analyst notes

  • Pos 3 30 Jul Wolverhampton (AW)

    Sat close to front - urged forward 2f out then briefly went in front - caught approaching final furlong - held same rhythm to finish third

  • Pos 3 29 Jun Windsor

    Raced fresh early and set the pace - pressed and driven along 3f out - stayed on going into the final furlong - edged sideways and lost front spot near the last 110yds - couldn't quicken again close home - clung on for third at the finish

  • Pos 8 8 Jun Pontefract

    Held up in the pack - pressed for effort with 2f left - unable to close - finished eighth

  • Pos 7 16 May Newmarket

    Held up in mid-pack towards the wide side - pressed for effort 2f out - found nothing and dropped away inside the final furlong - eventually well held
