Held up in rear, headway well over 2f out, soon niggled along, ridden to chase leading pair just over 1f out, driven inside final furlong, stayed on strongly to lead towards finish (trainer's rep said, as to the apparent improvement in form, the gelding had settled better in the preliminaries having gone early to post and was better suited by a more galloping track on this occasion)
In touch, headway to track leaders 4f out, close up over 2f out, ridden to take slight lead over 1f out, driven inside final furlong, headed and no extra towards finish
Led 1f, tracked leader, headway and close up over 3f out, led over 2f out, soon joined and ridden, headed narrowly over 1f out, soon driven and rallied gamely, every chance inside final furlong, no extra towards finish
Prominent, led after 1f, pushed along and headed over 2f out, soon ridden, driven well over 1f out, kept on same pace (vet reported the colt lost its right hind shoe)
Tracked leaders, pushed along 3f out, ridden over 2f out, driven well over 1f out, soon beaten (trainer's rep said the filly was unsuited by the good to firm surface, which in their opinion had been drying all day)
