Dwelt start, towards rear, headway towards far side from over 2f out, ridden when pressed leader over 1f out, kept on well to lead inside final furlong, ran on and won going away (prior to this race, a query was raised with trainer's rep on why gelding was running here at Southwell 2 days after running at Newcastle having reported on that occasion, that the race may have come too soon for gelding, having run at Kempton on the 20 January and the explanation given that gelding had appeared to have come out of his race at Newcastle fresh and feeling well) (op 5/2)
In rear, headway on outer 4f out, switched right towards near side over 2f out, ridden when led narrowly under 2f out, edged left when headed inside final furlong, soon lost second, weakened gradually final 110yds (op 12/1)
Awkward start, in rear, headway from over 2f out, switched left towards far side when ridden under 2f out, kept on from over 1f out (jockey said filly jumped awkwardly from the stalls resulting in being slowly away)
Kicked at start, took keen hold, hung right throughout, pressed leader, briefly led when towards near side under 2f out, soon ridden and weakened (jockey said gelding hung right-handed throughout) (op 5/1)
Took keen hold, prominent on outer, pushed along 4f out, ridden when lost position from over 2f out, soon dropped to rear and eased when towards near side (op 40/1)
