Travelled strongly, held up in rear, left 3rd 8th, tracked leaders from 13th, cruised into lead before last, nudged along and readily drew clear flat, very easily (op 6/4 tchd 6/5 and 13/8 in a place)
Not always fluent, chased leaders until left 2nd 8th, upsides leader after next, led and jumped awkwardly 2 out, soon driven and headed, no chance with winner and one pace flat (tchd 7/1)
Led until blundered badly 8th (open ditch), dropped to last, ridden and struggling after next, losing touch when pulled up after 11th (jockey said gelding made a bad mistake and lost its confidence.) (op 7/4)
