Never travelled smoothly - settled towards the back - shifted route and nudged into contention after 4 out - drifted left again approaching 2 out and found little more finishing 8th
Settled at the rear early - moved into contention before 4 out - given encouragement after 3 out - angled right approaching 2 out and closed into second on the run-in - narrowly denied at the line
Front early before relinquishing lead at 1st - fell away to 3rd soon after - slipped to 4th by the 11th - recovered to 2nd approaching 3 out - blundered 2 out and squeezed for room before last - stuck on into 2nd but well held by the winner on the run-in
Held up in midfield - hit a hurdle 7th and stayed handy - moved up alongside pace-setters - shared front spot 3 out - went clear approaching 2 out - pushed along and overtaken before last then dropped away
