Led, joined 12th, ridden and headed 14th, lost ground quickly after next, poor 3rd when pulled up 3 out (jockey said his mount did not appreciate being taken on for the lead) (op 5/6)
Last pair, 10 lengths 4th and outpaced 12th, poor 4th when pulled up 3 out (trainer said his gelding was unsuited by the ground and would prefer better ground) (op 5/1 tchd 11/2)
