Recent Form Analyst Notes

  • Pos 14 13 Sep 2026 Curragh (IRE)

    slow to begin - held up towards the back - boxed in for room 2f out and still hampered for space with a furlong left - eventually ran on same speed to finish 14th

  • Pos 9 9 Aug 2026 Curragh (IRE)

    Slow into stride and back in the pack - urged for effort inside the last two furlongs - couldn't find a way through and stayed held in the closing stages

  • Pos 15 18 Jul 2026 Curragh (IRE)

    slow to break - soon settled in the pack down the middle of the track - driven 2f out before soon coming under pressure and fading

  • Pos 6 12 Jul 2026 Dundalk (AW)

    raced in a middling 4th - made headway a furlong and a half out - up to third for the whip but found nothing extra and held an even gallop
