Recent Form Analyst Notes

  • Pos 6 5 Sep 2026 Thirsk

    Sat close to the leading duo - asked for effort 2f out - dropped away final furlong - finished 6th

  • Pos 6 15 Aug 2026 Ripon

    Sluggish start on the near flank - settled at the back of the field - squeezed for space when pressed 2f out - pushed along a furlong out - unable to threaten the leaders - well held in 6th

  • Pos 2 3 Aug 2026 Ripon

    Handy in second early - driven approaching final 2f - battled on well - flattened out inside final furlong to finish second beaten 1¾ lengths

  • Pos 3 7 Jul 2026 Pontefract

    Dwelt at the start - settled just off the pace - briefly denied a gap over 1f out - moved right and driven in the final furlong - grabbed third near the line
