Held up in touch in midfield, closed to chase leaders over 2f out, effort over 1f out, headway to lead 75yds out, ran on well (trainer's rep said, as to the apparent improvement in form, the gelding benefited from the step up in trip from 1m4f)
Led until over 8f out, chased leader until over 3f out, stayed prominent, switched right and headway under pressure to chase winner well inside final furlong, kept on but never getting to winner (op 10/3 tchd 11/4 and tchd 7/2)
Held up in touch in midfield, headway to chase leaders 4f out, ridden and every chance 2f out until no extra inside final furlong, weakened well inside final furlong (tchd 16/1)
Held up in touch, not clearest of runs over 2f out, pushed along and headway 1f out, not clear run and switched left inside final furlong, kept on, never troubled leaders (op 6/1)
Very slowly away and lost over 100yds, closed onto back of field and took keen hold 8f out, ridden over 3f out, lost touch 2f out, tailed off (jockey said gelding was slowly away and ran too free)
