    Settled mid-pack out wide early - pushed to keep tempo but slipped back approaching 3f out - boxed in for space 2f out - shifted left with much still to find inside final furlong - stayed on without threatening in the closing stages - finished 12th beaten 5 lengths

  • Pos 1 12 Sep Chester

    Settled with strong grip early - tracked the pace up with the front group - squeezed for space approaching 2f out - moved into second inside the final furlong - driven to the front close home and stayed on well to score

  • Pos 4 22 Aug York

    Towards the rear - moved up with ease approaching 2f out - upsides and a live threat over 1f out - found little in the closing stages and finished 4th

  • Pos 4 1 Aug Goodwood

    Settled towards the back - progress but tight for space 2f out - driven and stuck on through the final furlong - never able to get to the front group - finished 4th
