Sped to the front and led at a steady pace, opened up a 2Ls gap turning in, kept on strongly to the line and was never threatened. Impressive.

Placed one out one back, tried his hardest to get to the eventual winner, gave all but couldn't quite get there.

Up with the pace but was 3-wide without cover, looked dangerous when making his challenge 250M out but could not close the gap on the impressive winner.

Tracked leader on the inside, had every chance turning in and kept on effort to 100M, faded over the final stages.

Not hurried in early stages, settled towards the rear 5-6Ls off the pace, took time to gather turning in, did best work late.

Unable to slot in from draw 12 and travelled 3-wide in midfield throughout, ran on fairly final 300M and couldn't reach the leaders.

Restrained after the start, lost ground near 1100M and shuffled back to a rearward position, swung widest into straight and made only limited progress. (Jockey questioned.)

Held up in midfield along the inside, kept on one-paced to 100M then weakened.

Broke well, never far off the pace, under pressure passing 500M, could make no impression in straight and ran disappointingly.

Restrained to a midfield position along the 2-path, remained at the same pace to 200M, weakened over the final stages.

Taken back to the rear 7Ls behind leader, did not pick up when asked and had little left for closing stages.

Dropped back and soon guided to the fence, didn't travel and became detached from the field making the home turn, made limited progress inside 200M. (Jockey questioned / Mucopus).
