Swiftly away, up there with the pace early but restrained to a midfield position before turning, into clear 400 M, picked up really well and moved to the front near 150 M, kept on strongly to win his debut with something to spare.

Switched off to race in a rearward position after jumping, held up patiently and travelled well to bend, had 4Ls to make up near 400 M, showed a fine change of pace and stayed on strongly towards the end.

Quickly into stride, rolled along the rail and led at a steady tempo, travelled well enough to straight, began his sprint for home near 400 M, had every chance but was headed near 150 M, lost out on 2nd narrowly.

Slowly away, shaken up to take closer order just behind leading pair, hung in early in straight and was unable to shift out until 200 M, stayed on ok when cleared.

Began well, pressed on to race alongside leader, kept giving in straight but was unable to make significant headway.

Began well, soon eased off to last trailing 7Ls to leader, taken wide approaching home straight, made even progress from 350 M. (Jockey questioned about his riding in the finish.)

Ordinary jump, raced in midfield along the fence, kept to inside on straightening, ran on only fairly although he didn't have the clearest run inside 150 M.

Rushed to the front early, sat prominently behind leaders in a 2-wide position, failed to respond under pressure and gave ground from 200 M.

In midfield, showed greenness in running and was difficult to settle between horses, crossed to the fence approaching home turn, struggled to go with them in the straight, soundly beaten.

Unable to slot in and was wide without cover down the back straight, found nothing under pressure on straightening. Another disappointing effort.

Taken back on jumping from a wide barrier, raced in the rear about 7Ls back, struggled to keep up on turning, soon beaten passing 400 M.
