Went straight to front - driven when overtaken inside final furlong - dropped away late to finish 9th
Held a midfield spot wide - improved into contention 3f out - pushed along over a furlong out but drifted markedly right - soon held with no impact on finish
Held mid-pack early - pushed along with 2f left - stayed on at one gear inside final furlong - finished 5th
Sluggish start - settled towards the back - unable to make an impression - finished sixth and a half lengths off
