Jumped left, tracked leader, awkward 3rd and rider airborne briefly, led next until after 6th, led again 4 out, pressed from 2 out, driven out (op 8/13 tchd 8/15, tchd 4/6 in a place)
Held up in 3rd, blundered 4th, mistake 7th, closed 4 out, chased winner next, tried to challenge from 2 out, chance last, hung left flat, kept on (tchd 9/2)
Held up in last, lost touch 11th though still going well enough, nudged along and took modest 3rd after 2 out, ran down the last, eased flat (jockey said, regarding running and riding, that his orders were to drop the gelding out in last place and finish as close as possible,it had jumped sketchily early on and was outpaced before staying on; trainer confirmed adding that it had had a long lay off with a history of bleeding and leg problems and would be suited by a longer trip.) (op 8/1)
