Close up, soon settled in 2nd, closed on outer to lead narrowly 3 out, driven clear between last 2, pressed and kept on well from last (op 8-13 tchd 4-6 & 1-2)
Soon tracked leaders in 3rd, still going well in rear of quartet into straight, switched left to challenge 2 out, soon struggling to get on terms, kept on well from last, always held (op 7-4 tchd 13-8 & 15-8)
Led, slight mistake 5 out, headed 3 out, ridden and no impression from 2 out, kept on well under pressure from last (trainer said, regarding the apparent improvement in form shown, that gelding was having its first run back last time after a long break in very testing conditions and ran disappointingly; he added that his horses had been running very poorly at the time but they seem to have turned the corner now.) (op 12-1 tchd 18-1)
