★ Recent form analyst notes

  • Pos PU 17 Apr Ayr

    Settled midpack early - struggled for fluency and lost touch by the 7th - dropped right away and pulled up before 3 out - always laboured through this run

  • Pos 4 21 Mar Kelso

    settled in the pack - dropped back approaching two out - pushed along after the last obstacle - found room but drifted left in the process - finished strongly to close down the line

  • Pos 5 17 Jan Haydock

    Held a midpack position - pressed for effort three out - stayed on to finish fifth

  • Pos 4 2 Jan Ayr

    Held up towards the back - driven up to make ground 4 out - unable to make headway and untidy 2 out - stayed on at one tempo to finish fourth
