Took keen hold, held up in 10th, plenty to do 2f out, still only 10th just over 1f out, good progress on outer final furlong, led post (op 20-1 tchd 14-1)
Raced wide throughout in midfield, ridden 2f out, tried to close on leaders final furlong, never quite able to challenge (jockey said that the gelding ran too freely) (tchd 6-1)
Slowly into stride, settled in 10th, pushed along over 2f out, started to run on over 1f out and looking for room, no real chance of winning when no room inside final furlong, stayed on near finish (jockey said the gelding was denied a clear run) (op 3-1 tchd 10-3)
Held up in 8th, progress well over 1f out, went 3rd and closing just inside final furlong, probably just held when nowhere to go last 50yds and lost place (op 14-1)
Heavily restrained start and nearly tailed off after 100yds, pulled hard and soon in touch in last pair, no progress 2f out, weakened (jockey said that the filly missed the break and then ran too freely)
