Dwelt and short of room leaving stalls, soon switched left and in midfield, effort against stands' rail to lead over 1f out, driven and headed inside final furlong, battled back well to lead again towards finish (trainer said, as to the apparent improvement in form, the gelding was crowded in its last race at Bath and appreciated a clearer run today) (op 11/1)
In touch in last pair, closed to track leaders over 1f out, switched right and pushed along to challenge 1f out, ridden to lead inside final furlong, headed and no extra towards finish (op 10/1 tchd 11/1)
