In rear, last 4f out, headway on outer 3f out, ridden to challenge 2f out, led entering final furlong, driven out to hold persistent runner-up (trainer's rep said, as to the apparent improvement in form, the gelding appreciated the step up in trip and has also benefited from learning to settle better both at home and in its races) (op 7/2)
Took keen hold, held up, headway 3f out, pushed along and every chance over 2f out, driven and lost place over 1f out, reminder final furlong, weakened and lost 3rd 1/2f out (op 7/1)
Mid-division on outer, headway into close 2nd 6f out, pushed along 3f out, soon driven and lost place, ridden over 2f out, weakened (jockey said colt ran too free) (op 16/1)
Tracked leaders, 3rd 6f out, driven and dropped to last 3f out, soon lost touch and eased (jockey said filly moved poorly; trainer said filly was unsuited by the undulating track)
