★ Recent form analyst notes

  • Pos PU 2 May Punchestown

    Settled in the pack traveling wide - hit the 7th and the following fence - urged into 6th approaching 3 out - lost touch after that and eased down before halting ahead of 2 out

  • Pos PU 6 Apr Fairyhouse

    Settled midpack early - hit a small error at the 12th and made no headway when driven up approaching 4 out - unable to find more and eased to a halt before the following fence

  • Pos 7 11 Mar Cheltenham

    Settled close to the pace early - dropped away 3 out and stumbled 2 out under pressure - unable to quicken from the last finishing seventh

  • Pos 1 17 Jan Navan

    Sat second early behind the pace - went in front from the 4th - challenged three out and driven along before nudging back in command at the final fence - kept up the fight on the run-in for a battling win
