Close up behind leader and raced keenly early, disputed lead after halfway and led 2f out, ridden clear over 1f out, reduced lead well inside final furlong, strongly pressed close home, just held on, all out (trainer said regarding apparent improvement in form that his charge has not won since last year and since then he has had mixed form, he has tried different forms of headgear, which have not worked, and he has not been able to establish consistent running tactics. Regarding today's run, there was an ease in the ground which suited his charge, he had dispensed with all headgear and this combined with a favourable draw helped to bring about an improvement in form. Trainer also added that he has changed horse feed in the last week which may also have been beneficial to his charge.)
