Chased leader until led 3f out, pushed clear from over 1f out, easily (trainer's rep said, regarding apparent improvement in form, that the colt had been a backward 2yo and strengthened up over the winter and it may have been suited by the all-weather surface on which it was making its debut) (op 9/1 tchd 10/1)
Slowly into stride, switched left soon after start, held up, headway 2f out, ridden and hung left from over 1f out, no impression final furlong (jockey said gelding hung left under pressure) (op 5/2 tchd 10/3)
Held up, stumbled 7f out, ridden over 2f out, stayed on inside final furlong, never nearer (jockey said filly clipped heels approaching the 7f mark) (op 12/1)
Reared start, always behind (jockey said, regarding running and riding, that he had been given no specific orders but had hoped to take position just behind the front runners, the gelding reared as the stalls opened and was slowly away, this caused him to lose an iron in the early astages, having become detached from the main body by the time he entered the back straight he felt it would be pointless to attempt to catch the field allowing it to come home in its own time) (op 11/1 tchd 12/1)
