Held up towards the back - clipped 7th and drifted right 3 out - pressed for effort with little response - eased out of contention before the second last
Handy early - in touch with front pack from 3 out - clumsy 2 out and pushed along - found more after last - kept on strongly to the line - claimed second place
Set the pace from the off - kicked away after the final obstacle - ran out an easy winner
Settled just off the pace early - checked by a fallen rival at the 5th - pressed for effort before 3 out then dropped away quickly
