Led and disputed early until settled in 2nd after 2f, led after 4f, ridden into straight and strongly pressed 1 1/2f out, headed inside final furlong and kept on well without matching winner
Chased leaders, 4th halfway, improved between horses into 2nd over 3f out, ridden 2f out and every chance almost on terms near side entering final furlong, kept on same pace in 3rd well inside final furlong (op 7/2 tchd 100/30)
Slowly into stride, settled in rear, ridden over 4f out and no impression over 2f out, ran on well from over 1f out, nearest finish (jockey said, regarding running and riding, that his orders were to drop the gelding out the back, get some cover and creep into the race, without hitting the front too soon, it made a respiratory noise 5f out, before staying on past beaten horses; trainer said he was satisfied with the ride but felt it could have been ridden stronger in the finish)
In touch, 7th halfway, took closer order behind leaders under 3f out, ridden in 6th 2f out and no impression on winner under pressure in 4th briefly inside final furlong, one pace closing stages
Slowly into stride, soon settled in mid-division, 8th halfway, took closer order over 4f out, ridden 2f out and soon no impression towards rear, kept on under pressure inside final furlong
In rear of mid-division, ridden in 7th 2f out and no extra over 1f out, eased inside final furlong (jockey said filly lost its action in the straight) (op 9/1)
Chased leaders until took closer order in 2nd after 4f, pushed along and lost place from 4f out, no extra under pressure in 5th approaching straight, weakened final 2f
