Settled in last pair, effort after 10th, went 2nd home turn, challenged 2 out, led going best before last, driven out close home (trainer said gelding jumped more fluently on this occasion and that the yard appears to be coming back into form) (op 11/4 tchd 15/8)
Not always fluent, pressed leader until after 10th, ridden and found nil, well behind next (trainer rep said gelding was unsuited by ground, which was officially described as Soft (Good to Soft in Places) on this occasion, and would prefer a quicker surface) (op 7/1)
Raced in last place, driven and lost touch rapidly 10th, soon tailed off (trainer said, regarding poor performance shown, gelding would prefer a sounder surface over fences) (op 3/1)
