Settled at the back early - crept past a few rivals before 2 out - no threat to the principals and finished 9th
Sat handy early - 5th at halfway - moved into 2nd approaching final two furlongs - shaken up to hit the front early in the straight - soon overtaken and no more to give in 3rd close home - held on for the same effort to the line
Sat behind the front pair early - disputed second briefly - stumbled at the 4th - hit the front approaching three out and blundered there - opened a big gap - error two out cut into the margin as pressure went on - caught before the last and faded out of contention
Settled midfield - blundered at 1st - made ground into contention approaching 3 out - pushed along to move into third before 2 out - hit last and kept on same speed to finish 4th
