Always prominent, ridden 3f out, every chance 2f out, unable to quicken over 1f out, stayed on same pace inside final furlong (an enquiry was held to consider why Jedd O'Keeffe, was running the gelding here at Ripon on going described as Good, Good to Soft, having declared the gelding a non-runner at Ayr on 13 August 2018 on ground with the same official description. The trainer's representative stated that they had declared on Good to Firm going with rain forecast prior to raceday. However, as the going on raceday morning was only Good with no further rain forecast they did not wish to risk travelling up to Ayr to run on going that would have been too quick) (op 15/2 tchd 8/1)
Held up, headway into midfield 5f out, ridden and continued to improve over 1f out, soon pulled to outer, stayed on inside final furlong, going on at finish (op 9/1)
Raced keenly in midfield, ridden and switched right over 2f out, headway over 1f out, kept on but no impression inside final furlong (jockey said gelding ran too free)
In touch, hampered on inner 6f out, dropped to midfield, ridden over 3f out, kept on inside final furlong, never able to trouble leaders (op 11/1 tchd 12/1)
Raced keenly in midfield, lost place over 5f out, ridden over 3f out, hung left when no impression over 2f out, weakened over 1f out, soon eased (jockey said gelding clipped heels on the bend and was never travelling thereafter) (op 4/1)
