In touch with leaders, pushed along when raced wide and headway 2f out, edged left and led final 110yds, pushed out, comfortably (trainer's rep said, regarding the apparent improvement in form, that gelding stripped fitter for his first run of the season where he had been unsuited by a slow pace on that occasion, which was noted) (op 8/1 tchd 17/2)
Dwelt start, in touch with leaders, dropped to last over 5f out, pushed along over 2f out, headway and carried head high over 1f out, went third inside final 110yds, kept on (op 25/1)
Took keen hold, raced wide and prominent early, steadied and dropped to last after 1f, headway on outer and went second over 5f out, ridden and every chance 2f out, lost second inside final furlong, soon no extra (op 3/1)
Prominent on inner, ridden against far rail when bit short of room and switched right over 1f out, keeping on when bit short of room and hit on nose by rival's whip inside final furlong, soon no extra (op 17/2 tchd 15/2 and tchd 10/1)
Took keen hold, raced in second, slightly hampered after 1f, prominent over 5f out, ridden and outpaced when lost position over 1f out, soon beaten (trainer had no explanation for the poor form shown other than jockey reported that mare was unsuited by the tight nature of the Wolverhampton track, which was noted) (op 9/4)
