Didn't always jump with fluency, prominent, pushed along after 2 out, ridden to lead approaching last, went clear final 110yds, readily (trainer said, regarding the apparent improvement in form, that gelding benefited from a first time run over fences and a less competitive contest on this occasion, which was noted) (op 5/2 tchd 7/4)
Took keen hold, held up in rear, headway after 3 out, outpaced after 2 out, weakened approaching last (jockey said gelding ran too free in early stages) (op 28/1 tchd 25/1)
Took keen hold, midfield, headway 4 out, lost position after 3 out, weakened from 2 out (trainer had no explanation for the poor form shown other than confirming jockey report that gelding was never travelling; vet had nothing to report) (tchd 5/4 and tchd 13/8)
