★ Recent form analyst notes

  • 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

  • Pos 3 20 Jul Beverley

    raced freely up with the front-runners early - was pushed along with two furlongs to run - short of room entering the final furlong - moved up into third inside the final 110 yards

  • Pos 7 2 May Thirsk

    Held up mid-pack early - driven and slipping towards the back at halfway - lost touch inside the last furlong - eventually finished seventh
