Late to post, held up behind leaders, 6th halfway, headway from 2f out to lead narrowly 1f out where edged slightly left, strongly pressed well inside final furlong and headed narrowly inside final 100yds, kept on well, just held (op 3/1)
Held up towards rear, 7th halfway, took closer order behind leaders 1 1/2f out, soon switched right and ran on well inside final furlong into 3rd closing stages, not trouble principals
Dwelt and bumped slightly at start, settled in rear, pushed along into straight and switched right still in rear 1 1/2f out, ran on well near side inside final furlong into never nearer 4th closing stages, nearest finish
Chased leaders on outer until went 2nd after 2f, close 2nd at halfway, ridden on terms over 1f out and soon no extra under pressure in 3rd, weakened closing stages (op 16/1)
Soon led, narrow advantage at halfway, ridden and strongly pressed under 2f out, headed under pressure over 1f out and slightly hampered between horses, soon weakened (op 5/1 tchd 11/2)
Prominent, soon settled behind leaders, 3rd halfway, switched left over 2f out and took closer order far side over 1f out, not much room on inner inside final furlong, soon weakened and eased (jockey said gelding pulled a shoe in running and was eased final furlong)
