Chased leaders, 3rd halfway, ridden under 2f out and progress on outer into 2nd over 1f out, led inside final furlong and kept on well to assert closing stages (trainer's rep said, regarding apparent improvement in form, that a more patient ride in a lesser race suited the gelding)
Mid-division, 7th halfway, pushed along over 2f out, ridden and took closer order 1 1/2f out where not clear run and checked, soon switched right and ran on well inside final furlong into 2nd closing stages, never on terms (op 12/1)
Chased leaders, 5th halfway, ridden into 1 1/2f out and no impression on winner well inside final furlong where dropped to 4th, kept on one pace into 3rd on line (op 9/1)
Soon led, 2 lengths clear at halfway, ridden 2f out and reduced advantage under pressure over 1f out, headed inside final furlong and soon no chance with winner in 2nd, one pace in 3rd close home, denied 3rd on line (op 9/1)
Mid-division, 6th halfway, ridden 2f out and some headway under pressure 1f out, no impression on leaders in 5th well inside final furlong, kept on one pace (op 11/2)
Dwelt and pushed along towards rear early, last at halfway, still in rear approaching straight, progress far side from 2f out into 9th 1 1/2f out, kept on inside final furlong, nearest finish (op 5/1)
