Chased leaders, 4th 3f out, pushed along 2f out and switched between horses over 1f out, kept on strongly under pressure to lead 75yds out, ran on well
Soon chased leaders, dropped to close 5th 3f out, ridden 2f out and led under pressure entering final furlong, headed 75yds out and no extra close home (op 7/2)
Chased leaders, 4th halfway, progress to dispute 2nd over 3f out, soon pushed along and dropped to close 5th under 2f out, switched to far side inside final furlong and ran on well again to go 3rd close home (op 15/2)
Towards rear, 7th halfway, pushed along over 3f out and headway on outer, kept on steadily under pressure to go 4th close home, nearest finish (op 14/1)
Close-up, tracked leader in 2nd, pushed along 2f out and led well over 1f out, kept on well under pressure but headed entering final furlong, no extra and dropped to 5th close home (op 11/2 tchd 6/1)
Towards rear, 6th halfway, pushed along over 2f out, attempted to switch to outside but short of room and switched to inside over 1f out, kept on well close home but not much room
Slowly away, always in rear, ridden over 3f out but soon no impression under pressure, never a factor (jockey said gelding missed the break) (op 11/2 tchd 5/1)
