Even break, settled patiently towards the rear 5Ls behind leader, taken wide on straightening, made ground in fine style under hands and heels riding, drew clear inside 200 M to win with real authority.

Jumped well, drifted back to a position behind midfield 4Ls back, switched to outside on straightening, took time to muster but finished off very well inside 200 M. The winner was however too strong.

Standard jump, ridden to maintain a midfield position 2Ls off the pace, responded well under pressure and was just outran by the 2nd over the concluding stages.

Lacked early speed, ridden along the rail to be prominent behind leaders, briefly held up on straightening, squeezed through a gap inside 200 M, ran on but found no extra.

Dropped back to the rear after start, trailed leader by more than 8Ls, had much to do on straightening, made some late progress but set too great a task.

Out with first few, rolled forward to lead and shaded inside horse throughout, kept on effort early in straight but fizzled out inside 150 M.

Ordinary jump, ridden to maintain a midfield position, ran wide and without cover on turning, under pressure coming out of the bend, unable to quicken up and ran home very one-paced.

Standard break, restrained to race in the rear 5Ls off the pace, ran a shade too keen in middle stages, met traffic inside 300 M and never able to obtain clear running. Not fully tested.
