★ Recent form analyst notes

  • Pos 7 15 Jul Bath

    sluggish start and settled towards the back early - found wanting for speed from over 2f out - stayed on at one speed inside the final furlong

  • Pos 6 6 Jun Chepstow

    Hesitant start and dropped to back - still within range at halfway - asked for effort with 3f left - found nothing and beaten well

  • Pos 5 13 Sep Bath

    Sluggish start - held towards rear - finished with some late progress inside final furlong

  • Pos 4 14 Sep Chester

    Sluggish break - settled towards the back - crept closer wide in the straight but only reached 4th and stayed off the pace
