Jumped right throughout, raced in second, led 5th, briefly headed when pecked on landing 15th, went clear again from 3 out, shaken up and went further clear approaching last, comfortably (trainer said, regarding the apparent improvement in form, that gelding benefitted from a slower run race, a step up in trip and a smaller field than last time) (op 5/1 tchd 9/2)
Prominent, went second 9th, briefly led 15th, ridden after 3 out, soon held, no extra run-in, finished lame (vet reported gelding finished lame on his left front leg) (op 11/4)
Led, pressed leader when headed 5th, lost second when pecked on landing 9th, reminder when slow jump 10th, ridden after 4 out, well held from 3 out, weakened approaching last, tailed off (op 5/1 tchd 7/1)
Raced in last, reminder when slow jump 1st, struggling 11th, pulled up after 13th, never going well (trainer's rep could offer no explanation for the poor form shown) (op Evens tchd 6/5)
