    settled in the pack - lost touch inside the final furlong - dropped away close home finishing 7th

  • Pos 2 6 Aug Leopardstown (IRE)

    Settled midfield early - 4th at halfway - asked for effort entering the straight and pressed on inside final furlong - finished strongly to snatch second close home

  • Pos 13 2 May Newmarket

    Settled among the front group on the far flank - pressed for effort with 3f remaining - lost ground inside the final furlong - eventually well held in 13th
