★ Recent form analyst notes

  • Pos 15 21 Aug York

    Went wide from the off - up with the pace early - pressed for effort with 3f left before fading fast - well held at the finish

  • Pos 1 15 Aug Newbury

    Set the pace throughout - pushed on to open up a couple of furlongs from home - drew away in the closing stages to score easily

  • Pos 1 22 Jul Catterick

    tracked the front-runner and closed up 3f out - driven into the front 2f out - stayed on well in the final furlong

  • Pos 8 29 Jun Windsor

    Sluggish start settling last - moved into the front group by the 1f mark - shared control 3f out - pressed for effort 2f out then overtaken inside the final furlong - faded quickly to finish 8th
