Taken down early and wore hood to start, fractious in preliminaries and gave trouble at start, made all, set strong pace and soon went clear with one other rival, jumped well throughout , went clear before last, in no danger when eased towards finish, easily

Held up in rear, headway from 2 out, rapid headway and took second before last, outpaced by winner approaching last, kept on but no impression run-in

Soon raced in second, hit 4 out, outpaced by winner after 2 out, lost one place approaching bend before last, weakening when pressed for position towards finish

Never better than midfield, no chance with leaders from 2 out, kept on, just denied third towards finish

Towards rear, some headway after last, kept on, just denied fourth towards finish

Never better than midfield, tailed off from 2 out

Always towards rear, tailed off before 2 out

Soon raced in third, not fluent 3 out, outpaced before 2 out, weakened quickly and pulled up before last (trainer said gelding was unsuited by the soft going)

Midfield, outpaced after 2 out, weakened quickly and pulled up before last
