Held up in midfield, in touch with leaders after 2f, nudged along and headway to challenge over 1f out, ridden to lead 1f out, wandered around but kept on inside final furlong, always doing enough (trainer said, regards the apparent improvement in form, the gelding benefitted from the first-time application of a tongue tie) (op 10/3)
Extremely awkward start, in rear, niggled along over 3f out, ridden home turn, switched right 1f out, ran on well inside final furlong, went second final 110yds, no match for winner (op 6/4)
Took keen hold, in touch with leaders, towards rear before halfway, pushed along 2f out, switched left over 1f out, bit short of room inside final furlong, weakened towards finish (tchd 17/2)
Dwelt start, in rear, pushed along when bit short of room over 1f out, ridden briefly final 110yds, never on terms (jockey said the gelding was briefly denied a clear run 1f out) (op 10/1)
