Went slightly left start, tracked leader near side group, pushed along 2f out, soon ridden and stayed on well for pressure to lead inside final furlong (trainer's rep said, regarding improvement in form, colt did not handle the slow surface at Dundalk last time and better ground today coupled with drop in trip had helped bring about improvement) (op 5/2 tchd 10/3)
Prominent far side group, ridden to challenge 1 1/2f out, every chance and disputed lead briefly inside final furlong until soon headed, kept on well, no match for winner (jockey said gelding rolled around a little when it hit the front and was a bit green) (op 13/2)
Dwelt start and bumped slightly, soon prominent far side group, going well at halfway, ridden to lead over 1f out, headed inside final furlong, soon no impression on winner in 3rd, just held 3rd (tchd 15/8)
Chased leaders near side group, ridden over 2f out, no impression on leaders entering final furlong, switched right and ran on well inside final furlong into 4th close home, just failed for 3rd (op 9/2 tchd 10/3)
Went left start and slightly bumped rival, soon chased leaders far side group, ridden from halfway and soon no extra, weakened and eased 1 1/2f out (op 25/1)
