Dwelt and hampered soon after start, behind, ridden over 2f out, still plenty to do but headway under pressure over 1f out, went 4th 1f out, kept on strongly under pressure to lead towards finish (op 16-1)
Slowly into stride, behind and soon ridden along, headway halfway, driven to lead over 1f out, clear but idling just inside final furlong, driven and found little final 150yds, headed and hung left towards finish (op 3-1)
Took keen hold, held up towards rear, switched right and bumped rival over 5f out, ridden and effort 2f out, no impression under pressure over 1f out, kept on same pace inside final furlong (op 11-1 tchd 12-1)
Held up in touch in rear, ridden and struggling over 2f out, no chance with leaders well over 1f out, stayed on past beaten horses inside final furlong, never dangerous (jockey said gelding had no more to give)
Chased leaders, lost place and unbalanced well over 2f out, well beaten and eased 1f out (trainer's rep said gelding was unsuited by the good to firm ground) (op 11-4)
