In touch with leaders, steady headway on far side of group from 3f out, ridden to lead under 2f out, ran on well inside final furlong, comfortably (op 8/1)
Midfield, steady headway towards near side from 3f out, switched left 2f out, went second over 1f out, kept on but no impression inside final furlong (op 11/2)
Towards rear, outpaced 3f out, lost touch over 1f out, no impression (trainer said, regarding the poor form shown, that gelding may not have appreciated the drop back in trip from 1m to 7f on the slower surface, officially described as standard to slow on this occasion)
Awkward start and slowly away, held up in rear, outpaced 2f out, soon no impression, weakened quickly inside final furlong, eased final 110yds (jockey said gelding weakened quickly inside final furlong) (op 11/1)
