★ Recent form analyst notes

• Pos 3 20 Sep Listowel (IRE)

  Prominent in 5th - moved to 4th by the 8th - pressing into contention after 4 out - up to 3rd approaching the straight - not clean at 2 out - plugged on down the run-in but never in a position to challenge for third

• Pos 3 21 Mar Navan

  Sat close to the pace on the wide side - shared front spot turning into the straight - pushed along and lost the advantage after 2 out - couldn't get on terms with the winner nearing the last - dropped to third and held that spot to the line

• Pos 2 3 Mar Leopardstown

  Sat behind front pack early - moved into second by halfway - driven on after second last - stayed on same gear from the final flight but couldn't threaten winner

• Pos 4 19 Feb Thurles

  Sat close to the front group early - 5th at halfway then errand needed to encourage after a stumble around 7th - up to 3rd approaching two out - driven after that but found little more - slipped back to 4th before the last - stayed on same gait to finish fourth
