★ Recent form analyst notes

  • Pos 3 10 Apr Aintree

    Settled midpack early - made ground into contention before 4 out - hit the fence 3 out while urged into fourth - driven after 2 out in pursuit of the leading two but unable to threaten - held on for third

  • Pos 1 12 Mar Cheltenham

    Fenced neatly early - travelled up with the pace - closed on the front-runner after 4 out - asked for effort to hit the front before 2 out - opened a gap before the last - stayed on strongly to win

  • Pos 1 1 Jan Tramore

    Sat handy behind pace - edged in front approaching second-last stage - pressed on before the final two furlongs - stayed on strongly to score with ease

  • Pos 4 23 Nov Punchestown

    Settled handy early - held steady position after 7th - unable to close gap approaching 4 out - stayed on at same rate but slipped to 4th late
