Made virtually all, clear with one other 4f out, ridden 2f out, 2 lengths ahead 1f out, went further clear inside final furlong, reduced lead inside final 110yds, always doing enough (regarding the apparent improvement in form, trainer said gelding benefitted from being ridden more prominently on this occasion and being suited to a return to 1m from 1m2f) (op 10/1)
