★ Recent form analyst notes

  • Pos 5 13 May Perth

    Sat fourth early - pushed for effort after four out with little response - dropped away from two out

  • Pos 10 17 Apr Ayr

    Settled mid-pack early - driven from 4 out - dropped well off the pace from 3 out - finished well beaten in 10th

  • Pos 9 22 Mar Carlisle

    Held up at back of field - never involved - well held throughout - finished a distant 9th

  • Pos 1 7 Mar Ayr

    Settled in the pack early - urged into contention alongside the front-runner three out then edged alongside it before the last - shook off rivals in the closing strides to score
