★ Recent form analyst notes

  • Pos 3 17 Jul Nottingham

    settled last - driven to make progress 3f out and pressed for effort 2f out - unable to match the front two inside the final furlong - stayed on

  • Pos 2 30 Jun Ffos Las

    Held up towards the back - pushed along approaching final two furlongs - denied room and eased right a furlong out - finished well to claim second close home but short of catching the leader

  • Pos 3 8 Jun Pontefract

    Settled in the pack - improved into contention 3f out - pushed along and stayed on from 2f out to finish third

  • Pos 6 6 Apr Kempton (AW)

    Squeezed for space at the break - settled in midfield travelling keenly - up into fourth by halfway - asked for effort over 2f out but dropped back - unable to find more and finished sixth
