Held up in rear, niggled along briefly 5f out, soon switched right and headway, ridden and drifted left from 2f out, led over 1f out, kept on well (trainer said, regards the apparent improvement in form, the gelding was not suited by the Good to Soft (Soft in places) ground on his previous run at York as in his opinion, the ground had been holding and riding tacky. Trainer further added that the gelding had appreciated the Good ground on a more galloping track here at Newmarket on this occasion and had further benefitted from racing in a smaller field) (op 12/1)
Raced wide early, chased leader, pushed along 4f out, ridden when carried left under 2f out, kept on inside final furlong, went second final strides (op 12/1 tchd 16/1)
Held up in behind leaders, pushed along over 4f out, dropped to last and eased 2f out (trainer's rep said, regards the poor performance, the gelding had ran flat following three races in quick succession) (op 15/8)
