Taken down early, set off very fast and soon 20 lengths clear, often jumped soundly but hit 8th, ridden before 2 out where headed, immediately outbattled, beaten last, just clung on to 2nd (jockey said gelding ran too free) (op 11/10)
Last until 4th, 15 lengths 3rd after 3 out, ridden next, 7 lengths 3rd and not fluent last, very awkward head carriage flat but nearly snatched 2nd (op 8/1)
Close up in chasing trio until blundered 4th, ridden and struggling in last after, tailed off 7th, jumped deliberately 9th and next, pulled up 2 out (jockey said gelding never travelled) (op 2/1)
