Settled in midfield - 5th at halfway - moved up to 3rd turning in - urged along 2f out - 4th and making no dent 1f out - plugged on to finish 5th
Handy early - hit front approaching 4f gone before giving up advantage and pushed along 3f out - dropped away finishing 16th
Struggled at the back from the off and not a threat throughout
held up towards the back - made ground into 9th 3f out - driven and improved into 5th 2f out - up to 4th 1f out with nothing more to offer
