With leader and always well clear of field, led 10f out, ridden 2f out, kept on final furlong, ridden out (trainer said regarding apparent improvement in form that the gelding had benefited from the removal of headgear and the step up in trip. )
Led and soon well clear with winner, headed 10f out but stayed clear with winner, nudged along over 1f out, wanting to hang left and stayed on same pace final furlong (tchd 5/4 and 6/4)
Held up in midfield but not on terms, effort in 4th over 2f out, went modest 3rd over 1f out, no impression, plugged on and lost 3rd well inside final furlong
Held up well off the pace in last, some headway over 1f out, kept on inside final furlong, never dangerous (jockey said regarding running and riding that her instructions were to drop out and to make of the best of her way home from 2 furlongs out and, as the gelding was quirky, she had been told not to use her whip. She added that, due to the fast early pace, she was happy to be detached in last place as she felt the leaders would come back to her in time. The trainer stated these were his instructions and that he was satisfied with the ride given)
