★ Recent form analyst notes

  • Pos 4 16 Feb Carlisle

    Settled towards the back early - made progress 3 out but ragged over the obstacle - pushed along soon after - closed on the front group 2 out - stayed on at one gear through the run-in but dropped a place near the finish

  • Pos 5 17 Jan Haydock

    Settled in behind the pace - urged forward before 4 out - weakened from that point - finished well back in 5th

  • Pos 3 13 Dec Doncaster

    Settled just behind the pace - moved into third 3 out - up to second before the final furlong marker - pressed on approaching the finish - edged out for third close home

  • Pos 4 21 Jul Cartmel

    Drifted right at times early - sat behind pace-setter - went up front 4th - lost advantage after final flight then eased off under pressure on run-in
