Held up in rear, progress 2f out to take closer order, ridden in 4th approaching final furlong, quickened to lead final 150yds, kept on well (trainer said, regarding the apparent improvement in form shown, that having been loaded 2nd last on its latest start it got upset as last horse to be loaded got upset in stalls but, on this occasion, it broke smartly and he could only identify the stalls situation as the reason.) (op 5/1)
Towards rear, pushed along before 3f out and dropped away last 2f out, kept on (trainer said gelding sustained a facial cut in the stalls, was slowly away and did not travel on today's ground)
Tracked leaders, pushed along in 5th 2f out, no impression when short of room entering final furlong, eased (jockey said colt hit the running rail after suffering interference, lost its action and he eased it immediately as a consequence)
