Set the pace early - put under pressure approaching last after being caught - responded well up the run-in - edged out close home for third
Went in front from the off - clipped one and lost the advantage 6th before regaining it soon after - kept finding through the closing stages to win
Held up on inner behind the pace - hit the second-last and pushed along into second - kept finding through the closing stages to get up close home
Held up at the back - squeezed for space early on - moved into midfield from halfway - pushed wide entering the straight while up to 9th - improved to 7th inside the final furlong and finished strongly for 5th
