Made most to 6th, shaken up to lead again 8th, hard ridden before 2 out and looked vulnerable, kept on well (stewards considered the apparent improvement in form; trainer said gelding had been inconvenienced by the bypassing of all fences in the home straight, due to low sun, at Newbury and had benefited from coming down the handicap which was noted) (tchd 9/2)
Tracked leaders, urged along after 7th, never really going well after, weakened from 3 out (stewards considered the running of the gelding; trainer's rep could offer no explanation for the poor form shown) (tchd 11/10)
