Recent Form Analyst Notes

  • Pos 3 4 Sep 2026 Haydock

    Handy near the far rail early - hit the front approaching 2f out then overtaken with a furlong left - battled on at an even effort to finish third

  • Pos 11 11 Aug 2026 Hamilton

    Pulled hard early - drifted right leaving the stalls - up with the pace - pressed for a response 2f out and found nil inside the final furlong

  • Pos 9 10 Jul 2026 Newmarket

    raced in mid-division - driven with a furlong left - dropped away quickly

  • Pos 4 11 Jun 2026 Newbury

    Settled towards the back early - moved right and pushed along with 2f to run - stayed on inside final furlong - finished fourth without threatening the front
