Held up in last, still plenty to do when not clear run just over 2f out and switched left, rapid progress on outer over 1f out, swept into the lead inside final furlong, soon clear, easily (op 15/8)
Held up in midfield, progress over 2f out, chased leader briefly just over 1f out, stayed on to take 2nd again last 100yds but no match for winner (tchd 9/1)
Came out of stall slowly, held up in last trio, appeared to be hanging final 3f and no great progress, pushed along and never remotely involved (jockey said gelding hung left-handed in str)
Soon led and clear, breather halfway, stretched on again over 4f out, ridden and headed just over 2f out, weakened rapidly (op 6/1 tchd 11/2 and tchd 7/1)
Blindfold late off and slowly away, urged along to chase leader, lost 2nd 3f out, soon weakened (jockey said geldings blindfold got stuck due to wet conditions) (op 25/1)
