Recent Form Analyst Notes

  • Pos 9 5 Sep 2026 Haydock

    Wide berth early - held a forward spot then drifted left - urged on with 2f left - squeezed for room inside the last furlong - lost touch and finished ninth

  • Pos 9 12 Aug 2026 Kempton (AW)

    Held up towards the back of the pack - nudged into contention approaching 2f out but failed to threaten - dropped away steadily in the closing stages

  • Pos 4 25 Jul 2026 Newcastle (AW)

    Tracked the pace - driven over 1f out - stayed on strongly inside the final furlong to finish fourth

  • Pos 14 27 Jun 2026 Newcastle (AW)

    Settled towards the back - pushed along with 2f left - made no impression - finished well beaten in 14th
