Raced wide early, raced in second, prominent over 4f out, against far rail home straight, weakened over 1f out, eased and dropped to last inside final 110yds (trainer's rep said, regarding the poor form shown, that gelding had run flat, having run at York 21 days previously; jockey further added that he felt something amiss with gelding inside final furlong and felt it prudent to ease gelding; vet examined gelding during routine testing and had nothing to report) (op 11/10 tchd Evens)
