★ Recent form analyst notes

  • Pos 6 12 Sep Chester

    Settled in the pack early - pushed to close in on the front group over 2f out - unable to make further gains in the final furlong - dropped away towards the line to finish 6th

  • Pos 5 31 Aug Epsom

    Held up towards the back - pushed along and made progress into contention 2f out - stayed on at one level through the last furlong then found nothing more close home

  • Pos 8 25 Jul York

    Settled handy on the inside early - made progress four furlongs out - pushed along two out and faded in the final furlong for eighth

  • Pos 1 16 Jul Epsom

    Going well in the pack - edged right but made good ground to hit the front entering the final furlong - came under pressure and was challenged for the advantage inside the final 110yds - held on gamely to the finish
