Slowly away, towards rear, pushed along and steady headway on near side of group from over 2f out, ridden over 1f out, led final 110yds, ran on well (op 15/8 tchd 85/40)
In touch with leaders, outpaced and lost position over 2f out, rallied over 1f out, edged right and ran on inside final furlong, went third inside final 110yds, not pace to challenge (op 16/1 tchd 18/1)
Prominent kept apart from others towards far side, led after 2f, headed and carried head high over 2f out, edged left and weakened quickly over 1f out (jockey said gelding was unsuited by the track on ground which in his opinion was riding loose following heavy rain which had hit the course prior to and during the previous race and had resulted in the going being changed to good from good to firm, good in places) (op 7/1 tchd 5/1)
Towards rear, dropped to rear and jockey looked down to see if something was amiss over 2f out, soon eased, tailed off (jockey said gelding lost his action; vet had nothing to report) (op 16/1)
