Tracked leaders, ridden and outpaced 3f out, raced slightly wide home turn, good headway from 1f out, led inside final 110yds, kept on strongly (trainer's rep could offer no explanation for the apparent improvement in form) (op 18/1 tchd 16/1)
Dwelt start, held up in rear, going okay but still plenty to do over 2f out, ridden and hung left over 1f out, headway inside final furlong, kept on strongly and went third final strides, nearest finish (tchd 4/1)
Held up in rear, going okay when bit short of room on inner over 2f out, ridden over 1f out, no impression when short of room inside final furlong, soon eased (op 15/2 tchd 4/1)
Raced freely, never better than mid-division, ridden over 2f out, made no impression (trainer's rep said gelding ran too freely in the early stages after not being able to gain a prominent position) (op 11/2)
