Tracked leaders, shaken up entering final furlong, ran on well to lead final 120yds, readily (stewards considered the apparent improvement in form, compared with its previous run at Redcar on 17 April 2017 where the gelding finished fourteenth of sixteen, beaten by 18 lengths; trainer's representative's explanation was that the gelding was suited by a return to the Polytrack) (op 4/1)
Hampered start, soon rousted along in midfield, in last pair and driven turning in, ran on strongly inside final furlong, went 2nd close home (jockey said the gelding suffered interference leaving the stalls) (op 18/5 tchd 7/2)
Slowly into stride and hampered start, behind, headway entering final furlong where not best of runs, ran on final 120yds (vet reported the gelding had bled from the nose)
In touch, headway on inner turning in, ridden in close 4th when not clear run entering final furlong, faded towards finish (jockey said the gelding hung right-handed throughout) (tchd 4/1)
