Settled towards the back early - improved into contention by the 6th and met the 3rd-last hard - fading and drifted right at the 2nd-last then well beaten in 5th
Settled at back of field - pressed for effort after third-last then found little - well adrift at finish
Sat close to the pace early - clumsy at the 6th and slipped back into rear on the home bend under pressure - stone last approaching two out and fell
Settled towards the back - moved into 7th then grabbed 3rd before 3 out but erred there - driven up to dispute 2nd at 2 out - stayed on down the run-in without matching the winner's stride
