Held up behind leaders, slight mistake in moderate 4th at 5th, not fluent 3 out and pushed along still in moderate 4th, took closer order 2 out, soon ridden and closed under pressure into 2nd after last, stayed on well to lead run-in (op 2/1 tchd 5/2)
Waited with towards rear early, improved to dispute 2nd at 3rd, 3rd halfway, went 2nd after 5 out, improved travelling well to lead 2 out, not fluent last and ridden, headed under pressure run-in and no impression on winner closing stages (op 14/1)
Chased leader, joined for 2nd at 3rd, 2nd halfway, lost place 5 out, ridden in 3rd before 2 out and no extra under pressure after last, kept on same pace (op 8/1 tchd 7/1)
Attempted to make all, 2 lengths clear at halfway, slight mistake 3 out, headed next and soon ridden, no extra before last and weakened into 4th run-in (op 8/11 tchd 1/2)
In rear throughout, detached before halfway, tailed off when slow 4 out, never a factor (jockey said that his mount did not handle the ground conditions.)
