Tracked leading pair and hugged inner throughout, effort to lead over 1f out, clear and in command inside final furlong, eased towards finish, easily (op 11/4)
Chased leading trio, effort on centre over 2f out, never threatened to get on terms with leader, went well held 3rd and kept on same pace inside final furlong (op 6/1 tchd 13/2)
Held up in midfield, effort and still plenty to do entering final 2f, never threatened to get on terms, plugged on and switched right inside final furlong (op 13/2 tchd 5/1)
Squeezed for room and hampered soon after start, held up in rear, effort in centre and plenty to do over 2f out, no progress and well beaten over 1f out (op 9/2)
Very slowly away, took keen hold, closed on to rear of field after 2f, midfield but not on terms with leaders 6f out, hung left under pressure and no progress over 1f out, weakened (jockey said gelding ran too freely and hung left-handed) (tchd 9/2)
Midfield, dropped to rear 3f out, lost touch over 1f out, virtually pulled up inside final furlong, tailed off, dismounted soon after finish (jockey said gelding was never travelling; post-race examination failed to reveal any abnormalities)
