★ Recent form analyst notes

  • Pos 6 31 Aug Roscommon (IRE)

    Went straight to front - lost command approaching 5f out - fourth and driven 2f out - squeezed for space inside final furlong - found nothing more and dropped away late

  • Pos 5 15 Aug Tramore (IRE)

    Settled at the back - no meaningful challenge from 2f out - plugged on one-paced from over 1f out - fifth at the line

  • Pos 6 30 Jul Galway (IRE)

    Sat close to the front group early - 5th at halfway - pushed along into 4th with 2f left - couldn't quicken from 1f out and stayed on same gear to finish 6th

  • Pos 9 28 Jul Galway (IRE)

    Settled in the pack - 11th at halfway - made ground into 2f out but failed to threaten leaders entering straight - stayed on at one gauge to finish ninth
