Made virtually all, kicked for home just over 3f out, joined and driven well over 1f out, stayed on well to draw clear final furlong (trainer said, regarding improvement in form, colt was suited by the step up in trip from 1m2f and also benefited from running for the first-time in a handicap against horses of similar ability)
Slowly into stride, rousted along to recover, soon chased leader then took keen hold, ridden over 3f out, lost 2nd over 2f out, edged left final furlong but kept on to take 2nd again (op 9/2)
Steadied start, took keen hold, held up in last trio, taken to outer and progress over 2f out, hanging left and raced awkwardly under pressure but kept on (tchd 22/1)
Soon in last, ridden and weakened 5f out, tailed off when eased over 1f out (jockey said gelding stopped quickly. post-race examination failed to reveal any abnormalities)
