Led, untidy 9th, hit 4 out, ridden along and headed 2 out, rallied well for pressure to challenge again after last, stayed on well under mostly hands and heels to lead close home (tchd 10/11 and tchd 11/10)
Mostly tracked leader until 13th, remained handy, tracked leaders again after 14th, closed to challenge going well 3 out, led 2 out, ridden with short lead approaching last, headed by winner and no extra close home (op 10/11 tchd 4/5)
Mostly in 3rd on inner, went 2nd 13th briefly until next, ridden and readily outpaced 4 out, soon tailed off (vet said gelding had lost his right-fore shoe) (op 50/1)
In last pair, dropped to last 10th, ridden and reminders 13th, weakened before 15th, tailed off when pulled up before 2 out (trainer said gelding was unsuited by the ground and would prefer a sounder surface)
