★ Recent form analyst notes

  • Pos 2 5 Oct Pontefract

    Raced in the pack - urged along 3f out - close up 2f out - angled right and stayed on strongly final furlong - closed on winner late and went down by a neck-sized margin of 0.3 lengths - second

  • Pos 2 11 Sep Chester

    Held up towards the back - shifted wide and progressed from 2f out - moved into second inside final 110yds but faded to third close home

  • Pos 19 21 Aug York

    Sluggish start then settled into midpack - urged forward approaching 3f out - dropped back under pressure with 2f left - well held from 1f out to finish 19th

  • Pos 6 1 Aug Goodwood

    Settled at the back - pushed along with 2f left - kept on inside the final furlong to finish 6th
