Positioned behind front group going wide - fumbled first obstacle - sixth at halfway - up to fourth with five to go - second before four out then went in front after - clear at the following one but got in awkward at the fence - lost footing on the far side and came down two out
Sat behind pace early - moved into second at the 8th and clipped the next fence - hit the front approaching 3 out - driven on but come under pressure after 2 out - matched stride for stride at the last - overtaken on the run-in and unable to find more - held for second beaten three quarters of a length
Settled behind the front group early - back in the pack by the 4th - made headway before 4 out - into second before 3 out - hit the front after 2 out and stayed on strongly to win
Sat behind the pace in mid-pack - close enough but scratchy at the fourth from home - asked for effort and lost ground - rallied late to take fourth on the run-in
