Tracked leader, challenge over 4f out until led inside final 3f, hard driven and ran on well when strongly challenged throughout final furlong (op 6-1 tchd 13-2)
Towards rear but in touch, pushed along 7f out and 4f out, headway to track leaders 2f out, challenged going well 1f out, upsides inside final furlong, no extra close home (jockey said, regarding the apparent tender ride, his orders were to get gelding to rail, cover it up early on and make his challenge as late as possible, adding that gelding travelled well early on but came off the bridle mid-race, and he expected gelding to pick up readily when asked for an effort, delaying a challenge until final furlong, in accordance with successful tactics employed in previous races, but was disappointed with the failure to quicken) (op 11-8 tchd 13-8, 7-4 in places)
