Taken down early, soon pressing leader, led 6th, driven 2 out, headed and easily outpaced before last, no chance when dramatically left clear close home (op 15/2 tchd 10/1)
Settled close up, on and off bridle final circuit, ridden 10th, went 2nd briefly after 3 out, faded tamely next, left poor 2nd near finish (tchd 7/4 and tchd 2/1)
Pulled hard on outer, close up, went 2nd at 7th until ridden and lost touch tamely before 2 out, finished weakly, left remote 3rd near finish (op 11/4 tchd 5/2)
Settled tracking leaders, not fluent 2nd and 3rd, went 2nd 2 out, soon ridden to lead, 5 lengths ahead when rider lost right iron last, regained it and going fine until lost it again and suddenly fell off 20yds from finish (jockey said she had lost her right iron jumping the final hurdle, however, quickly regained it before riding a finish, whereupon the gelding had lugged right whilst under a right-hand drive, causing her to lose her balance and be unseated) (op 2/1)
