Reared and slightly awkward start, in rear, headway in 11th from halfway to chase leaders going well, ridden in 3rd inside final furlong and ran on well to lead final strides (trainer said, regarding the apparent improvement in form of the gelding who placed first as compared with its recent form, the gelding got a bump early on during his last race which lit him up and he ran free which effectively ended whatever chance that he had whereas today he missed the break, settled well and came with one challenge in the closing stages) (op 6/1 tchd 13/2)
