Tracked leader, in touch with leaders after 6f, shaken up over 2f out, ridden and good headway to lead over 1f out, ran on well inside final furlong, impressive (trainer's rep said, on the improvement in form, the gelding appeared to benefit from a return to an all-weather surface and the reapplication of blinkers on this occasion having worn cheekpieces last time out) (op 4/1 tchd 3/1)
Took keen hold, towards rear, going okay and headway over 2f out, switched right and ridden over 1f out, stayed on and went second inside final 110yds, no match for winner (op 9/4 tchd 5/2)
Dwelt start, took keen hold, held up in behind leaders, went second after 6f, pushed along to challenge 3f out, every chance when ridden over 1f out, outpaced inside final furlong (op 11/1)
Ducked right start, took keen hold, held up in last, pushed along over 3f out, outpaced when ridden 2f out, detached when eased inside final furlong (jockey said gelding ran too free) (op 28/1 tchd 50/1)
