Confidently ridden and declined pace of clear leading pair, closed smoothly 3 out, went 2nd before next, delayed effort until cruised ahead soon after last, never off the bridle (op 5-2)
Tended to jump left, led until 12th, led again 3 out, ahead on sufferance next until landed awkwardly last and soon headed, no match for cantering winner (op 5-2)
12 lengths 3rd at 3rd, some progress in 6 lengths 4th when pecked 3 out and quickly lost touch, well beaten when hit next, tailed off and eased flat (op 11-1)
Mistake 5th, always well behind and never going well, tailed off 10th, pulled up 3 out (trainer's rep said gelding was unsuited by the good to firm ground) (tchd 17-2 and 10-1)
