Held up behind leaders disputing 5th, progress towards outer to challenge over 2f out, driven to lead over 1f out, kept on well under pressure (Mkt1: op 9/1 tchd 8/1; Mkt2 tchd 15/2)
Taken down early, held up in last trio, good progress on wide outside over 2f out though slightly unbalanced, driven to challenge just over 1f out, kept on to take 2nd near finish (Mkt1: op 14/1; Mkt2 op 14/1)
Trapped out wide towards rear, steady progress from halfway, closed to lead on outer 2f out, driven and headed over 1f out, kept on but lost 2nd near finish (Mkt1: op 4/1 tchd 7/2; Mkt2 op 3/1)
Held up in last, progress on outer over 2f out, driven and kept on to take 4th just over 1f out, no impression on leading trio after (Mkt1: op 9/2 tchd 5/1; Mkt2 tchd 9/2)
Soon in midfield, lost place 3f out and last 2f out, rallied over 1f out, stayed on well to take 5th near finish, has been retired (Mkt1: op 16/1 tchd 14/1)
Led after 1f, set strong pace but pressed, headed 3f out, weakened under pressure 2f out, heavily eased final furlong (trainer's rep said gelding was unsuited by the good, good to firm in places in the back straight, ground and would prefer a faster surface) (Mkt1: op 20/1)
Never better than midfield, weakened quickly under pressure over 2f out, tailed off
