★ Recent form analyst notes

  • Pos 3 29 Jul Goodwood

    Veered left at the break - pulled hard in the early stages - hit the front before giving way after 1f - pushed along 2f out and surged back to the lead - wandered right inside the final furlong - caught entering the last 110yds and dropped to third close home

  • Pos 3 16 Jun Ascot

    Sent to front early - urged on approaching final 2f - given further encouragement inside final furlong - met pressure in last 110yds and gave way - couldn't find more and dropped to third close home

  • Pos 1 24 Apr Sandown

    Sent straight to the front - pressed for effort with two furlongs left - kicked on again inside the last 110 yards to win comfortably
