Recent Form Analyst Notes

  • Pos 4 11 Sep 2026 Doncaster

    Settled centrally early - pushed along with 2f left and up into fourth approaching the final furlong - stayed on at an even effort to finish fourth

  • Pos 15 22 Aug 2026 York

    Held up towards the back - nudged for effort and made ground into contention with two furlongs left - driven then lost momentum inside the final furlong - eventually well held

  • Pos 5 11 Jul 2026 York

    Quick into stride - sat behind the pace and was shaken up inside 3f out - unable to make ground and weakened over the final furlong

  • Pos 6 13 Jun 2026 York

    Held up at the back - urged into effort with 2f left - unable to land a blow - well held in 6th
