Prominent early but jumping scrappily in 3rd by the 4th - crept nearer before the 8th - made no further progress after the last - dropped away and wound down in 4th over 1f out
Settled in the pack - drifted left at the 4th before losing ground and meeting the fence awkwardly approaching 3 out - pulled up soon after
Settled towards the back of the pack - improved into the pack before 6 out and 9th under encouragement entering the straight - couldn't quicken from 2 out and well held at the finish
Settled off the pace early - departed with a heavy blunder at the 15th
