Travelled strongly, in touch with leaders, not fluent 6th, smooth headway to lead 2 out, good jump last, nudged along and went clear run-in, readily (trainer's rep could offer no explanation for the apparent improvement in form) (op 12/1 tchd 14/1)
Held up in rear, headway on outer 3 out, ridden 2 out, soon weakened (trainer said, regarding the poor form shown, that gelding was unsuited by the soft, heavy in places going which in his opinion was riding tacky) (op 10/11 tchd 11/10)
Led, headed but prominent 4th, pressed leader 6th, lost ground quickly after 3 out, eased and pulled up before 2 out, made respiratory noise (trainer's rep said gelding made a respiratory noise) (op 85/40 tchd 2/1)
