In touch, 7th halfway, headway over 2f out to chase leaders in 3rd over 1f out, ridden to lead 1f out and kept on well under pressure towards finish (trainer said, regarding apparent improvement in form, that the more favourable ground conditions suited the colt)
Hooded to load, held up towards rear, 10th halfway, headway from 2f out to chase leaders in 5th 1f out, closed under pressure inside final furlong into 2nd final strides, not trouble winner
Chased leaders, 4th halfway, soon lost place and short of room 2f out, soon switched in 10th and progress into 4th just inside final furlong, ridden into 2nd inside final 100yds, no impression on winner closing stages and dropped to 3rd final strides (op 7/1)
