Held up early with plenty of eagerness on the bridle - stayed at the back of the field throughout - well held at the finish
Sat close to the front group near the rail - driven with two out then held head aloft and lost ground inside the last two furlongs - hampered and checked inside the final furlong with no room to finish - eventually well beaten in 10th
Pulling hard early - forced the pace along the rail then broke away with one other before halfway - overtaken approaching 3f out and slipped back a place inside the final 3f - dropped away rapidly with 2f left - finished well held in 7th
Set the pace from middle of pack - opened up daylight approaching 4f out - advantage narrowed as urged forward 3f out - overtaken with under 2 to go - fought back to reclaim front late and got up close home
