Tracked leaders, shaken up over 2f out, progress over 1f out, driven to lead last 150yds, stayed on (trainer said regarding apparent improvement in form, the gelding appreciated the softer ground on this occasion and the application of a first time hood) (op 3/1 tchd 5/2)
Always in leading trio, urged along 4f out, ridden to press leader over 2f out, upsides over 1f out until winner went past 150yds out, not quicken (op 8/1)
Held up in midfield, going better than many 3f out, coaxed along after, took 4th final furlong but not on terms, no impression when reminders near finish (tchd 6/1)
Held up in last quartet, ridden 3f out, some progress 2f out but with no great enthusiasm, no headway final furlong (jockey said the filly stumbled down the hill) (op 11/1)
Held up in last, pushed along and no progress 3f out, never a factor (jockey said filly ran keen early and hung left-handed in the home straight) (tchd 33/1)
Took keen hold, held up in last quartet, pushed along and no progress 3f out, weakened 2f out (op 20/1)
