Made all, extended lead from 4 out, ridden before 2 out, kept on well under pressure when challenged run-in (trainer said, regarding the improved form shown, gelding tired in heavy ground at Punchestown last time when having only its second outing after a long break, and today it jumped well, benefited from a positive ride from the front and loved the better ground) (op 10/1)
Raced in 3rd, briefly went 2nd from 3 out, ridden to challenge in 3rd again from before 2 out, kept on well under pressure to go 2nd near finish without troubling winner (op 2/1 tchd 9/4)
Tracked leader in 2nd, mistake 5 out and ridden, dropped to 3rd briefly from 3 out, soon 2nd again, challenged from 2 out, no impression under pressure run-in, no extra and lost 2nd near finish (op 1/2)
