Went forward to race outside the leader, kept pressure on leader throughout taking a narrow advantage on bend, applied acid test final 250m and stuck to task well to score narrowly.

Ended up racing 2 and 3 wide around midfield, had cover to bend, switched to middle and let down strongly, just failed to peg back leader.

Showed good sped to take up running, worried a bit throughout by outside horse, fought back when shaded turning, stayed on well final 300m to hold placing.

Took up ideal spot 1 out 1 back trailing leaders, no excuses to bend, loomed as a serious threat at 250m but just lost a place late in bunched finish.

No early speed and soon settled a clear last 7Ls off lead, saved ground on rails and made good progress to bend, came through hard along inside.

Away fairly, kicked through to end up first behind leaders on rails, even trip to bend, kept on evenly behind them without seeing much room final furlong to finish on heels of placegetters.

Forced to go back from a tricky draw, raced 3 wide behind midfield, 5ls off lead, switched out wider turning in and closed respectably down centre to be nearest on line.

Tucked in behind them in midfield 3-4Ls back in two wide line, fair run to bend, left a bit flat when they dashed but came on ok late without looking likely.

Away fairly, raced 3 wide with cover behind speed, 2Ls back to bend, no clear early straight but unable to go with them and dropped off final 300m.

Out in line, pressed on but posted 4 wide without cover just off speed, worked too hard in run, rounded turn widest, struggled final 300m.

Went forward but unable to slot in, raced 3 wide without cover outside leaders, did share of work challenging at top end, under pressure turning, folded tamely in straight.
