★ Recent form analyst notes

• Pos 1 11 Apr Aintree

  Some early jumping errors - settled in the pack - moved up to challenge before 3 out - hit the front after 2 out - stumbled at the last - driven out to hold on well

• Pos 6 11 Mar Cheltenham

  Eager in the early stages - settled at the back of the field - made ground on the outside approaching 3 out - up to fourth before a serious blunder at the last - unable to rally and finished sixth

• Pos 1 13 Feb Chepstow

  Shared front spot early - briefly second before moving in front at the 2nd - fumbled that fence - showed inexperience before the 3rd - touched down unbalanced at the 4th but soon opened a seven-length advantage - margin stretched again after the second last - drifted approaching the final fence - driven out - won without being asked a serious question

• Pos 1 8 Jan Ffos Las

  Settled with a strong grip on the bridle early - tracking the front group though not entirely surefooted 3rd - improved into third then fifth - moved into second 3 out - closed to dispute matters but stumbled 2 out - driven out under pressure - responded gamely to get up in the last 50 yards
