Took keen hold, close up, chased leaders after 1st, jumped slightly left and bumped rival 3rd, led before 4th, 4 lengths ahead after 3 out, pushed along 2 out, ridden run-in, soon reduced lead, all out (trainer's rep said, regards the apparent improvement in form, the gelding may have benefitted from the re-application of blinkers on this occasion and the return to Hexham where he has won previously) (op 11/1)
Held up in rear, going okay when not fluent 4 out, headway before 3 out, went fourth before 2 out, ridden approaching last, went second and made strong challenge run-in, kept on well (op 10/3)
Sweating, close up, briefly led after 1st, soon chased leaders, not fluent 4th, went second before 2 out, soon pushed along, ridden approaching last, kept on but lost second run-in, no extra final 110yds (op 7/1)
Towards rear of midfield, midfield 5th, pushed along 3 out, ridden and some headway after 2 out, went fourth when not fluent last, kept on run-in (op 6/5)
Soon led, slow jump and headed 1st, led again before 2nd, headed and chased leader before 4th, not fluent 4 out, pushed along after 3 out, ridden and weakened gradually after 2 out (vet said gelding lost his right-hind shoe and had been struck into on the same leg)
