Held up in touch, headway over 2f out, ridden well over 1f out, kept on final furlong, finished 3rd, placed 2nd (jcokey said, regarding running and riding, that his orders were to jump out, get a good position and get the gelding racing, the trainer was keen that it had a good experience, this being its first run, but he was carried wide early so felt his only option was to take back and drop in rather than race wide, adding that it ran green in the straight and in his opinion obtained the best possible placing; vet said gelding was suffering from an infection causing an elevated temperature) (op 14/1)
Prominent, close up after 2f, disputed lead halfway, ridden along 3f out, soon weakened, finished 9th, placed 8th (jockey said colt never travelled) (tchd 9/2)
