In mid-division early on - dropped back at the 10th - crept closer wide 3 out - left behind before 2 out and soon tired to finish 4th
Jumped poorly throughout - towards the rear from the off - serious error at the 4th cost several lengths - improved to mid-division by the 7th - another jumping lapse at the 15th saw momentum collapse - pulled up before the following fence
Settled towards midfield on the outer - lost touch and slipped through the pack by the 8th - took no real part thereafter - well held in 8th
Tracked front pair from outside - level with rival 3 out - scrambled over the second-last under pressure - went on approaching final fence and kept finding more to the line
