Recent Form Analyst Notes

  • Pos 3 5 Sep 2026 Newcastle (AW)

    Sluggish start - settled at back of field - made up good ground under pressure entering final 2f - stayed on into third at finish without threatening the front two

  • Pos 6 18 Aug 2026 Chepstow

    Hesitant leaving stalls - held up towards the back - driven up into contention two out - squeezed for space and lost ground inside the last

  • Pos 7 21 Jul 2026 Wolverhampton (AW)

    held up towards the back - began to find progress with a furlong left - stayed on inside the final 110 yards but had too much ground to make up

  • Pos 3 8 Jul 2026 Kempton (AW)

    restrained at the back and given a lot to make up passing the furlong-and-a-half marker - stayed on to claim third close home
