Held up in touch in midfield, travelling strongly but not clear run over 2f out, switched right over 1f out, ridden and headway to chase leader inside final furlong, ran on well to lead close home (stewards held an enquiry to consider the apparent improvement in form of the winning gelding, which had never previously been placed; trainer said the gelding had scoped dirty after its previous run and has since freshened up after receiving treatment) (op 6/1)
Took keen hold, held up in touch in rear, switched right and effort well over 1f out, headway 1f out, stayed on well inside final furlong, never troubled leaders (op 20/1 tchd 22/1)
Slowly into stride, held up in touch in last pair, effort on inner over 1f out, switched right and stayed on well inside final furlong, never troubled leaders (op 8/1)
Took keen hold, chased leaders until 4th and outpaced under pressure 2f out, weakened inside final furlong (jockey said the gelding ran too free and hung right) (op 15/2 tchd 10/1)
Very slowly away and immediately pulled up (jockey said the gelding dwelt in the stalls and was reluctant to race and he therefore felt it prudent to pull up) (tchd 66/1)
