Chased clear leader after 3f, soon niggled along, led over 3f out, strongly challenged inside final furlong, held on well near finish (trainer said, regarding apparent improvement in form, that the gelding benefitted from stepping up to race over 2m on turf.)
Held up, smooth headway 4f out, tracking leaders when not much room 2f out, shaken up to challenge just inside final furlong, no extra near finish (op 9-4 tchd 15-8)
Started slowly, took keen hold, headway to lead after 1f, soon clear until 8f out, headed and hung right over 3f out, lost place over 2f out, behind when eased inside final furlong (jockey said gelding ran too free and hung right) (op 17-2 tchd 9-1)
