★ Recent form analyst notes

  • Pos 4 13 Apr Hexham

    Drifted right early on - shared front running before losing command at the 3rd - closed up on leader again 2 out - pushed along and weakened approaching last

  • Pos 8 23 Feb Ayr

    Settled in the pack early - hit the deck at the 9th and pushed for effort after three out - fading and stumbled two out then finished well beaten in 8th

  • Pos 2 23 Jan Wetherby

    Settled towards the back early - found space and made progress after the 8th - moved to the front two out - lost that advantage close home and edged left under pressure to go down by under two lengths

  • Pos 9 4 Dec Haydock

    Fighting for control early - settled near the back and hampered by a poor jump at the first - dropped away three out
