Chased leader, 3 lengths down and ridden 2f out, no impression under pressure 1f out, ran on inside final furlong to lead last strides (trainer said, regarding the apparent improvement of form, after running on 22 January at Chelmsford City on returning home the gelding was found to be sore, and that on its previous run at Lingfield the gelding was reported as having moved poorly
and considered it did not appreciate the kickback; therefore on this occasion the instructions had been to change tactics and be ridden close to the pace thus avoiding the kickback and benefitting from a small field) (tchd 7/2)
Mounted on course and taken down early, led, sent for home and 3 lengths clear over 2f out, still same lead 1f out, kept on but headed last strides (tchd 7/2)
Held up, outpaced and shaken up 2f out, never on terms after, ridden and kept on final furlong (jockey said the gelding had a breathing problem) (op 3/1)
