Prominent, pushed along to lead over 1f out, ridden and unbalanced when faced challenge inside final furlong, kept on towards finish, just did enough (op 7/1 tchd 10/1)
In touch with leaders on near side of group, outpaced 2f out, rallied and went third inside final furlong, kept on well and went second towards finish, just failed (op 6/1 tchd 9/2)
Awkward start and squeezed out start, in rear, headway from over 1f out, keeping on inside final furlong, no extra towards finish (jockey said gelding missed the break and jumped awkwardly from stalls) (op 10/1)
Dwelt start, took keen hold, towards rear, carried head high and struggling halfway, looked reluctant and no chance from over 1f out, lost shoe (trainer said, regarding the poor form shown, that gelding did not face the first time application of blinkers on this occasion; vet reported gelding had lost his left hind shoe) (tchd 11/4)
