★ Recent form analyst notes

  • Pos 21 12 Mar Cheltenham

    Settled towards the back of the pack - jumped awkwardly 8th and again 3 out - faded away before 2 out to trail home well beaten

  • Pos 2 21 Feb Chepstow

    Handy in the early stages - hit front 8th but soon overtaken - urged back in charge approaching 3 out where overhauled once more - fought back after 2 out - moved right and closed on rival near line - unable to get past

  • Pos 4 24 Jan Cheltenham

    Set the pace unchallenged early - driven along before being overtaken after 2 out - dropped away rapidly - battled on to the line finishing 4th

  • Pos 4 1 Jan Cheltenham

    Took up the running - lost momentum at the 5th and began to be asked for effort before 2 out where the lead was surrendered - faded before the last to finish 4th
