Errors early - up with the pace - went clear from the 6th - pushed along and unbalanced two out - overtaken close home - couldn't quicken again in the final furlong
Held up in second - hit front approaching 3 out - driven on after 2 out - urged again past last but faded when overtaken close home - lost second late
Set the pace from the outset - opened a big margin approaching two out - hit that fence a touch awkwardly - stayed on strongly to score with plenty in hand
Set the pace from the off - clipped the 5th and 6th obstacles - urged forward at the home bend - driven out after the second last - stayed on bravely to prevail by the narrowest of margins
