★ Recent form analyst notes

  • Pos 1 28 Sep Hamilton

    Settled in the pack - moved up with two furlongs left - went up to challenge and hit the front close home - kept on gamely to score

  • Pos 3 25 Jun Newcastle (AW)

    Settled midpack early - lost touch with pace 3f out - pushed along inside final furlong and finished with a strong rally - edged out for second close home

  • Pos 3 28 May Ripon

    Settled in the pack early - moved up to press leaders with 2f left - urged along a furlong out and hit the front for a moment - overtaken in the final furlong - edged out of second on the line finishing third

  • Pos 2 7 May Redcar

    Tracked the pace close up - urged into a share of command 2f out - hit front for a stride before a furlong out - overtaken soon after - stayed on but never able to reel in the winner
