Prominent, outpaced over 2f out, ridden over 1f out, edged left but kept on well inside final furlong, led towards finish (trainer's rep said, regarding the apparent improvement in form, that colt benefited from a drop down in trip and appreciated the heavy going) (op 5/2 tchd 15/8)
Led, pushed along and increased tempo over 2f out, soon went clear, reduced lead inside final furlong, faced challenge inside final 110yds, no extra and headed towards finish (op 11/8 tchd 7/4)
Took keen hold, raced in last, outpaced over 2f out, soon lost touch, weakened and eased 1f out, tailed off (trainer's rep said colt was unsuited by the heavy going and would prefer a quicker surface) (op 7/2)
