Took keen hold, midfield, ridden and headway 2f out, hung left from over 1f out, soon led but faced challenge, kept on inside final furlong, always doing enough (op 3/1)
Towards rear and ridden, headway 2f out, ran on final 110yds, went second towards finish, soon challenging, just held (jockey said gelding was never travelling) (op 6/1)
Tracked leaders, ridden and challenging 2f out, led and edged right over 1f out, soon headed, every chance inside final furlong, no extra towards finish
Slowly into stride, in rear, pushed along and some headway 2f out, kept on inside final furlong, made no telling impression (following a stewards enquiry into the running, jockey said his instructions were to hold gelding up, allow him to relax as the gelding can be keen and it was its first run since a wind operation, and get him to finish as best as he could; he added that he was happy with the way gelding settled and that he chose to track a strong travelling rival as the race developed from approximately 4f out, as he felt that this would give him the greatest chance of achieving the best possible placing; he continued that the gelding lugged left-handed under pressure, which in his opinion, may have been due to the loose ground and that the gelding was one-paced, only passing beaten horses; his explanation was noted) (op 18/1)
Midfield, ridden over 4f out, weakened 2f out (op 12/1)
