Sat close to the front group early - stumbled at 3rd fence - holding 4th at halfway - faded back into the pack in the straight and pulled up before the last
Hampered and sluggish leaving the gate - settled among the pack - given a squeeze after three out - still needing more with two to jump - moved left nearing the last then kept battling without threatening
Handy early - lost momentum and slipped to 4th after an awkward jump 3 out - moved up into 2nd smoothly turning into the straight - hit the front approaching last and kept responding to the whip for a comfortable win
Went straight to front - lost the advantage after the opening fence then regained command soon after - hit the third from home and driven along late - caught close to the line - beaten 1½ lengths in second
