Took keen hold, close up in touch, headway to dispute lead after 9th, led outright 11th, pressed for lead 3 out, briefly joined 2 out, soon ridden, led narrowly approaching last, kept on strongly

In touch in rear, pecked 10th, chased winner before 13th, good jump to press winner 3 out, ridden approaching 2 out, every chance when bad mistake last, faded run-in

Wore hood and mounted chute, midfield in touch, chased leaders before 14th, mistake 3 out, soon ridden and outpaced by leaders, no impression before last

Prominent, disputed lead 4th, headed after 9th, dropped to fourth before 14th, ridden and struggling before 3 out, soon pulled up

Led, awkward 2nd, joined 4th, not fluent 7th, mistake and headed 11th, ridden before 13th, pulled up before 14th (trainer reported gelding would prefer a slower surface)
