★ Recent form analyst notes

  • Pos 4 31 Dec Punchestown

    Settled midpack early - slipped back to 7th after being 4th - found more approaching last to reach 6th - stayed on into 4th late but never a threat

  • Pos 3 2 Dec Clonmel

    Held up at the back - drifted further off the pace after the second and third - down in touch by halfway - found some late headway before two out - stayed on to grab third near the finish

  • Pos F 22 Nov Haydock

    Held up towards the back - pushed along four out with little response - came down at the final fence

  • Pos 5 5 Oct Tipperary

    Held up at the back throughout - never able to make an impression - well held at the finish
