• Pos 8 13 Mar Cheltenham

  Sent clear early - shared front spot after the 1st then gave up top spot after the 2nd - back on terms for second spot 9th - moved into second 3 out - pressed for the advantage before 2 out - dropped away from second soon after - faded nearing the last

• Pos 1 26 Dec Kempton

  Held a forward spot on the wide side - hit the front approaching 3 out and had to fend off rivals from every angle - driven on before 2 out then edged in front only for that lead to be cut down close to the last - dug in gamely up the run-in to prevail by the slimmest of margins at the line

• Pos 1 22 Nov Haydock

  Set the pace from the off - fenced cleanly throughout - driven on to open a gap before the last - kept command to the line unopposed

  Handy early - tracking front group into 2nd fence - made up ground into 6th - moved up to second spot by 9th - pressed the pace 14th - hit front 2 out - kept going to the line under pressure
