Recent Form Analyst Notes

  • Pos 6 17 Jun 2026 Ffos Las

    Went straight to the front - lost the advantage after 2f but stayed in touch - urged into contention before fading weakly with 2f left

  • Pos 7 9 May 2026 Lingfield

    Settled in the pack - under pressure from 2f out and losing touch over 1f out - dropped away to finish seventh

  • Pos 7 28 Mar 2026 Southwell (AW)

    Handy near the front - driven approaching final 2f then drifted left inside the last - lost ground close home to finish 7th beaten 4 lengths

  • Pos 2 11 Mar 2026 Southwell (AW)

    Went straight to front - pushed along inside final furlong - overtaken close home and battled on to go under by a short head
