Recent Form Analyst Notes

  • Pos UR 2 Jul 2026 Perth

    Settled towards back of field - jumped awkwardly and parted company at 2nd

  • Pos 8 27 May 2026 Cartmel

    Held up towards the back - dropped away 4 out - kept battling to the line - finished 8th

  • Pos UR 24 May 2026 Kelso

    Hesitant at the start and away tardily - jinked hard right and threw rider at the opening fence

  • Pos 2 13 May 2026 Perth

    Settled towards the back early - jumping awkwardly through midfield - began to close from four out - roused to move upsides before two out - sent on soon after - stumbled slightly at the last - overtaken briefly and edged left running to the line - found more and closed again under pressure - narrowly denied at the finish
