Midfield, ridden and chased leaders over 2f out, went second 1f out, kept on well to lead final strides (trainer's rep said, regards the apparent improvement in form, gelding was better suited for the step up in trip from 1m2f to 1m3½f on this occasion and also benefitted from running in a handicap for the first time) (tchd 3/1 and tchd 4/1)
Chased leaders, not clear run and switched left 2f out, ridden and led over 1f out, kept on inside final furlong, headed final strides (op 28/1 tchd 33/1)
Led until headed and chased leader 8f out, ridden and every chance over 2f out, lost position over 1f out, weakened final furlong (op 4/1 tchd 16/5 and tchd 9/2)
Dwelt start, in rear, pushed along 4f out, ridden and headway on outer over 2f out, no extra over 1f out, hung left and weakened final furlong (jockey said colt hung left-handed) (op 5/2)
Taken down early, held up in rear, pulled up 7f out (jockey said she pulled the gelding up as she thought the gelding lost its action; vet reported that a post-race examination of the gelding failed to reveal any abnormalities) (op 7/1 tchd 6/1 and tchd 15/2)
