  Settled midpack early - made ground three furlongs out - shared fourth with a shove two out - shifted to the inside and driven a furlong out - locked together for the advantage - battled on gamely through the finish - got up by the smallest of margins

• Pos 1 16 Jun Ascot

  Settled towards the back early - roused into contention approaching 3f out - pressed for effort with 2f to run - closed in to dispute matters - edged right but hit the front inside the final furlong - fought off a determined rival through the last 150yds - prevailed by the narrowest of margins

• Pos 1 2 May Newmarket

  Settled just behind the pace - pushed along 3f out - made ground into the final furlong - hit the front inside the last 110yds - held on for the win

• Pos 3 10 Oct Newmarket

  Up with the front group on the far side - pressure applied from 3f out - shifted wider inside the final furlong and kept on - not enough speed to threaten for third
