Caught wide no cover from draw 12, improved to the lead entering home turn but still wide, continued on well in straight under 10lb claimer and built up enough of a margin to hold off the fast finishing 2nd.

Given a waiting ride at the rear, 8Ls off the good pace entering the turn, found clear passage nearing 200M hit the line hard to finish just 0.5L behind winner.

Tracked the leading trio in a strongly run race, had every chance turning in but lacked the winning dash, well held by leader in the run home.

Chased the pace in 5th, 3Ls to make up 400M, fought on steadily on the inside but couldn't sprint enough to be closer.

Not hurried early stages, dropped back to a position behind midfield, 6-7Ls off the good pace at 400M, ran on mildly to line, no serious threat.

Began fairly, hard driven to the fore under 10lb claimer, taken on by rivals passing 700M, continued the chase on leader until weakening over final 150M.

Held up in midfield 5Ls off leader in a strongly run race, kept on one pace over final 300M and not gaining on leaders.

Taken back to the rear 7-8Ls off the good pace, driven along 550M, stayed on only fairly, no threat to leaders. (Jockey : his mount appeared reluctant to stretch out whilst resenting the kickback.)

Outpaced by leaders despite driven along, fell back to a midfield position middle stages, remained one pace turning home and outsprinted by rivals passing 250M.

Prominently ridden, chased leader along the 2-path, pace strong, weakened noticeably passing 300M.

Had trouble keeping up with rivals in a strongly run race, last of 12 making the home turn, 12Ls off leader at 400M, made no real progress in straight, never in the picture.

Began awkwardly, towards the rear, never travelled, unbalanced 500M when reluctant to maintain its position, well beaten top of straight and finished tailed out on debut. (Unacceptable Performance.)
