Bumped start, towards rear of midfield, headway and prominent after 2f, led after 3f, shaken up over 2f out, pushed along 2f out, ridden and headed home turn, weakened gradually from 1f out (op 20/1)
Midfield, going okay but waiting for room over 2f out, pushed along over 1f out, made no impression (stewards inquired into running and riding of gelding which travelled well in mid-division but was tenderly ridden turning for home and in early part of home straight; jockey stated his instructions were to achieve his best possible placing and to try to get gelding to settle as he had raced too freely on his previous run; he further explained that the early pace of race was a strong one and gelding had settled and travelled well as a result but, rounding the final bend, he found himself caught on rail and lost ground when leaders kicked for home; in explaining his ride in home straight he said that gelding had failed to pick up when asked and had flattened out, making no in-roads on leaders in closing stages which led him to suggest that with gelding settling better on this occasion, it might benefit from a step back up in trip) (tchd 80/1)
Reared start and slowly away, switched sharply left soon after start, raced in last, pushed along and struggling over 2f out, ridden and some headway from over 1f out, short of room inside final furlong, never on terms (jockey said gelding was slowly away and that gelding was denied a clear run in the final 110yds) (op 13/2)
Awkward start and slowly away, in rear, pushed along from 2f out, no impression when not clear run inside final furlong (jockey said gelding was denied a clear run in the final 110yds) (op 16/1)
In touch with leaders, outpaced and pushed along over 2f out, ridden and hung left over 1f out, beaten when hampered inside final furlong, eased final 110yds (op 8/1)
