Chased leaders, pushed along into 3rd early, ridden 2f out and closed under pressure to challenge in 2nd inside final furlong, kept on best to lead close home (trainer said, regarding apparent improvement in form, that the colt was coming back to 5f and, perhaps, the key is fast ground over the minimum trip and the first-time blinkers.)
Tracked leader until disputed before halfway, ridden with narrow advantage over 1 1/2f out, strongly pressed under pressure inside final furlong and headed close home (op 15/8)
Waited with, 5th halfway, ridden 2f out and closed under pressure behind horses inside final furlong, kept on towards finish without ever threatening principals (op 9/2)
Broke well to lead narrowly until joined before halfway, headed under pressure over 1 1/2f out and soon no extra under pressure, weakened well inside final furlong
Stumbled slightly leaving gate and raced in rear, in touch halfway, ridden on outer 2f out and no impression, weakened (trainer said filly stumbled leaving stalls and lost ground)
