Held up towards the back - stumbled at the 2nd - urged forward before the last two furlongs - kept trying but always held up out of it
Close to pace early - pushed for effort after 3 out - lost ground from 2 out - well held at the finish
Settled in the pack early - pushed along and made ground 4 out - closed on the leader approaching the last but couldn't find more - edged out of third close home
Jumping lacked consistency - pulled hard early - well adrift throughout and blundered heavily at the 4th - completely detached before 4 out
