Tracked leaders, effort 10th, led before next and only one travelling after, drew right away after 2 out with rest out on their feet (trainer's rep said, regarding apparent improvement in form, that the gelding had benefited from having a short break since Wincanton) (tchd 5/1)
Awkward jump 4th, tracked leaders, every chance before 3 out, soon chasing winner and driven, 7 lengths 2nd and beaten next, hopped over last and finished really tired (op 17/2 tchd 6/1)
Chased leader, closed on him to lead 10th, ridden and soon headed and hanging badly right, 20 lengths 3rd 2 out, desperately tired and almost walking when lost 3rd flat (jockey said gelding hung badly right) (op 13/8)
Led at decent pace and up to 8 lengths clear until ridden before 10th where headed, dropped out rapidly, 4th and tailed off when pulled up 2 out (tchd 11/4)
