Settled up with the pace early - hit the front 3rd before giving it up after the 4th - lost touch after the 14th - pulled up after the 15th
Held up at the back - untidy over the obstacles and dropped away from the pack by the 10th - pulled up before the 13th
Drifted right early - close up with strong momentum into the front approaching the home turn - small error allowed rival back in front near the finish - kept on at an even effort to the line for second
