Prominent, ridden to lead 2f out, edged left well inside final furlong, held on well (trainer's rep said, regarding the apparent improvement in form, that gelding had matured over the winter and had benefitted from being gelded and from the step up in trip from 7f to 1m 2f on this occasion) (tchd 10/1)
Slowly into stride, in rear, switched right over 2f out, headway over 1f out, ran on inside final furlong, finished well (jockey said gelding was slowly away) (op 10/1 tchd 8/1 and tchd 11/1)
Held up, ridden over 4f out, no impression 3f out, eased when well beaten over 1f out (trainer's rep said colt was unsuited by the good to firm going on this occasion and would prefer a slower surface) (op 5/1)
