Settled in behind early - improved into 4th before the home turn - pressed for late progress after the second-last - moved into 3rd on the run-in but no answer to the leading two
Held up towards the back holding hard early - moved into second place 2 out - pushed along and hit the last - powered clear in the final 100 yards to score comfortably
Held up handy in leading group - pressed for effort with a furlong left - kept on without gaining late - finished fourth
Slow to break - soon settled into rhythm racing wide behind the front group - moved up into second spot 6f out - dropped that spot 2f out and asked for effort - edged left after a bump inside the final furlong and faded
