Dwelt start, midfield and pushed along early, headway to lead after 1f, headed and ridden over 2f out, battled back and led again inside final furlong, kept on (trainer's rep said, regarding the apparent improvement in form, that gelding had benefitted from the application of first-time cheekpieces and by being ridden more prominently on this occasion) (op 4/1 tchd 9/2)
Took keen hold, held up in rear, switched right over 4f out, ridden and still plenty to do when edged right and bumped rival over 1f out, good headway inside final furlong, went second towards finish (op 7/1)
Led, headed and chased leader after 1f, lost second and chased leaders over 6f out, ridden 2f out, keeping on when switched right and short of room inside final furlong, held towards finish (op 4/1)
Slowly into stride, in rear, switched right and headway over 8f out, went second over 6f out, led over 2f out, ridden over 1f out, headed inside final furlong, weakened inside final 110yds (op 5/1)
