Tracked leaders, headway 3f out, switched right over 2f out, led well over 1f out, soon ridden clear, stayed on (trainer said, regarding the apparent improvment of form, that the gelding had been a backward type, had strengthened up since its two-year old campaign and had benefited from the application of first-time cheekpieces in what was a weak race) (op 8/1 tchd 13/2)
Took keen hold, tracked leading pair, headway on inner to take slight advantage after 3f, ridden along 3f out, headed over 2f out, soon one pace (op 2/5)
Awkward start, soon led and pushed along, headed after 3f and close up, ridden along 3f out, led briefly over 2f out, headed and weakened well over 1f out (op 16/1)
