  • Pos 2 24 Sep Newmarket

    Handy early - went in front before halfway - overtaken inside final furlong but fought back to threaten again close home - couldn't find more and held for second

  • Pos 2 5 Sep Thirsk

    Tracked the pace early - driven to challenge inside final furlong - kept on but couldn't find more late

  • Pos 1 17 Aug Windsor

    Pulled hard early - set the pace throughout - headed briefly under 1f out - drifted left in the closing stages and stuck on to win

  • Pos 1 28 Jul Beverley

    Drifted left at the off - moved across to take command - pushed along over 1f from home - stayed on strongly to score
