Towards rear of midfield, steady headway from over 3f out, pushed along over 2f out, soon bit short of room and ridden, made challenge against near rail over 1f out, led and went clear inside final furlong, easily (trainer said, regarding the apparent improvement in form, that although a blood test taken after filly's previous run showed raised levels of muscle enzymes, he could not be certain that this was the cause of the poor run; as such, he had no explanation for filly's improved form) (tchd 33/1)
Bumped start, disputed lead, led clearly 4f out, going okay over 2f out, soon pushed along, ridden and hard pressed over 1f out, headed and drifted left inside final furlong, outpaced and well held final 110yds, just held second (op 18/1)
Held up in rear, pushed along and hung left from over 3f out, headway but short of room towards near side over 2f out, not clear run and lost ground 2f out, ridden over 1f out, stayed on inside final furlong, ran on well towards finish, eyecatcher (jockey said mare hung left-handed in the final two furlongs) (tchd 50/1)
Towards rear, pushed along over 3f out, ridden and outpaced over 2f out, still plenty to do over 1f out, kept on inside final furlong, never dangerous (op 15/2)
Midfield, good headway going okay 3f out, ridden over 2f out, soon edged right, made challenge over 1f out, drifted left and weakened inside final furlong (op 33/1)
Towards rear of midfield, pushed along 3f out, brief headway going okay again over 2f out, ridden and outpaced over 1f out, weakened inside final furlong (tchd 9/2)
Towards rear, pushed along over 3f out, ridden up the centre over 2f out, soon weakened (trainer's rep said gelding was unsuited by the good to soft ground and would prefer a firmer surface) (op 4/1)
Midfield, cajoled along early, pushed along and lost position over 4f out, ridden over 3f out, eased and lost touch over 2f out, tailed off (jockey said gelding stopped quickly; vet reported gelding was found to have an irregular heartbeat) (tchd 11/2)
