Made all and set steady pace, ridden and 2 lengths ahead over 2f out, kept on well inside final furlong (trainer said, regarding the apparemt improvement in form, that gelding had freshened up from a break and benefitted from a first-time visor and an easy lead throughout the race) (op 10/1)
Took keen hold, raced in second, lost second and prominent after 6f, ridden and went second again over 2f out, kept on but held inside final furlong (op 18/1)
Started quickly, soon dropped to midfield, ridden over 2f out, soon struggling, dropped to rear and behind final furlong (trainer could offer no explanation for the poor form shown; jockey said gelding stopped quickly) (op 7/4 tchd 13/8)
