Handy until dropped back quickly after 12th, 4th and rallying but plenty to do 19th, stayed on to go 4 length 2nd before 2 out, coaxed along and sustained run to wear down leader final 75yds, game effort (op 5/1 tchd 11/2)
Led, some stuttering jumps on first circuit, joined and left 6 length clear 3 out, driven along with advantage dwindling after, headed and no extra final 75yds (op 14/1)
Settled tracking leaders, pushed along and outpaced in 3rd at 19th, left 2nd next until home turn, no impression and well held when landed badly 2 out (op 12/1)
Taken wide in rear, not always fluent, mistake 7th, never looked dangerous from 12th, struggling 19th, tailed off and pulled up 2 out (op 10/3 tchd 3/1)
Mistake 2nd, in rear until quick move into 3rd at 10th, went 2nd at 13th, upsides leader and going better than him but winner still waiting in the wings when landed badly and unseated rider 3 out (op 7/2 tchd 3/1 tchd 4/1 in a place)
