★ Recent form analyst notes

  • Pos 4 31 Aug Cartmel

    Settled in the pack - clumsy 3 out - moved up to challenge in front 2 out - driven with a shout approaching last before fading to finish fourth

  • Pos 1 17 Mar Wetherby

    Sat close to the pace - asked for effort approaching 3 out - moved up to dispute before the last - went in front on the run-in - held on under pressure to prevail

  • Pos PU 23 Jan Warwick

    Held up at the back throughout - dropped well adrift - eased and pulled up before 2 out

  • Pos 5 20 Dec Haydock

    Settled in the pack early - pushed for effort after the 10th then dropped away 3 out - unable to threaten from 2 out home finishing fifth
