★ Recent form analyst notes

• 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

• Pos 5 6 Sep Ascot

  Sat just behind the pace to halfway - asked for effort and edged back over 2f out - found a bit late to reach third briefly inside the final furlong - unable to hold that spot near the line - faded to finish fifth
