Led until ridden over 2f out, rallied to regain lead just inside final furlong, kept on gamely, ridden out (trainer said, regarding the improved form shown, the gelding had benefitted from getting an easy lead on the soft ground) (tchd 20/1)

Slowly into stride, mid-division, headway over 3f out, travelling well enough when not clear run over 2f out, ridden and headway over 1f out, close 3rd entering final furlong, kept on (op 5/1 tchd 11/2)
Raced keenly in midfield, not clear run 4f out and again when ridden over 2f out, not pace to quicken when gap appeared over 1f out, hampered again entering final furlong, no chance after (jockey said gelding was denied a clear run; vet said gelding was struck into on its left fore) (op 9/4)
