★ Recent form analyst notes

  • Pos 6 15 Aug Ripon

    Sluggish start on the near flank - settled at the back of the field - squeezed for space when pressed 2f out - pushed along a furlong out - unable to threaten the leaders - well held in 6th

  • Pos 2 3 Aug Ripon

    Handy in second early - driven approaching final 2f - battled on well - flattened out inside final furlong to finish second beaten 1¾ lengths

  • Pos 3 7 Jul Pontefract

    Dwelt at the start - settled just off the pace - briefly denied a gap over 1f out - moved right and driven in the final furlong - grabbed third near the line

  • Pos 1 18 Jun Ripon

    Tracked the pace close up - hit the front over 2f out drifting right and opened a big advantage inside the final furlong - kept finding more - allowed to coast home in command
