Made all, hard pressed 3 out (actual 2 out), ridden and stayed on strongly bypassing 2 out, clear last, ridden out (trainer's rep said, regarding the apparent improvement in form, that gelding was better suited by the heavy ground on this occasion which was riding looser than the heavy ground on the mare's previous run which, in her opinion, was tacky) (op 12/1)
Held up in touch, chased leading trio after 6th, closed and well in touch 3 out (actual 2 out), not clear run bend entering straight, effort to chase winner bypassing 2 out, kept on same pace under pressure before last (op 9/2)
Held up in touch in rear, struggling 7th, pushed along and no impression in 6th when slipped on landing and unseated rider 3 out (actual 2 out) (op 8/1 tchd 17/2)
