★ Recent form analyst notes

  • Pos 8 10 Mar Cheltenham

    Held a forward position early - close to the pace 3 out - asked for effort and drifted right approaching 2 out then drifted left - weakened without response after the last - beaten well into 8th

  • Pos 2 14 Feb Haydock

    Set the pace early - travelling well four out then pushed along three out - overtaken before the last two furlongs - rallied gamely to the line but held by the winner finishing second

  • Pos PU 4 Apr Aintree

    Settled in the pack early - slipped towards the back by the 8th - well behind and hampered at the 13th - pulled up before the second last

  • Pos 17 12 Mar Cheltenham

    Handy early - hit the front after the 2nd and held it to 3 out - dropped away shortly after and driven along - faded fast into the home turn and beaten a long way
