Midfield, headway from 2f out, led inside final furlong, kept on (trainer said, regarding the apparent improvement in form, that gelding may have benefitted from a step up in trip from 5f to 1m on this occasion) (op 9/1 tchd 7/1)
Slowly away, towards rear, midfield 5f out, headway from 2f out, stayed on inside final furlong (jockey said gelding was slowly away and hung right-handed) (op 7/2 tchd 3/1)
Slowly away, in rear and detached, nudged along and some headway from 2f out, never on terms (inquiry held into running and riding of mare; jockey was interviewed and shown recordings of race; handicapper offered observations; jockey said her instructions were to ride mare in a similar style to her previous run 7 days ago, where she was also slowly away and ride her according to how she jumped today; she said that mare was slowly away and she wanted to let mare get into a rhythm, adding that she was detached from the field early, but in her opinion they went a fast pace in early stages of race; leaving back straight she further stated that she asked mare for her first effort where she saw Emorcee coming back to her; she added that rounding bend and turning into home straight she started to ask mare for an effort approximately 2f out where she soon realised mare was showing minimal response to her urgings and therefore continued with a hands and heels ride to line) (tchd 18/5)
