Stumbled start and slowly away, took keen hold, soon recovered and midfield, switched left and headway 2f out, pushed along and challenging over 1f out, ridden briefly and led inside final furlong, eased towards finish (trainer's rep said, regarding the apparent improvement in form, that colt appreciated the drop in grade as well as the step up in trip from 7f to 1m on this occasion) (op 11/4)
Took keen hold, raced in second, lost second and prominent 6f out, ridden and led but faced challenge when edged left over 1f out, headed and no extra inside final furlong (op 12/1)
Pulled hard, held up in rear, headway when not clear run and switched right over 1f out, soon carried left, ridden and hung left but went third inside final furlong, kept on (op 11/1 tchd 12/1)
Midfield, not clear run when switched right and bumped rival under 2f out, ridden and went fourth inside final furlong, kept on, not pace to challenge (op 12/1 tchd 9/1)
Never better than midfield, hung right home turn, pushed along 3f out, ridden under 2f out, soon hung left and weakened (jockey said gelding hung right-handed in the early stages) (op 13/2 tchd 6/1)
Awkward start, towards rear, pushed along when not clear run and hampered 2f out, carried left over 1f out, weakened final furlong (jockey said filly jumped awkwardly from the stalls) (op 10/3)
