Away well enough, stayed in touch behind leaders, quickened up well to wrestle the lead 150M, kept going soundly for convincing victory.

Reserved after the jump, switched off to last 9Ls off the pace in middle stages, got split 400M, closed off strongly to go 2nd near the line.

Pressed forward from draw 13, had uncontested lead, quicken up tempo 600M, kept going well in straight only run down by winner 150M, lost 2nd close home.

Showed speed to be tracking the pace in 3rd, saved ground on the inside, chased evenly final 300M, held by leaders.

Raced handily behind leader, kept chasing leaving the bend but couldn't reel in leader, awkwardly placed 250M, battled away to the finish.

Began fairly, lost ground when bumped, restrained behind midfield, got held up from home turn to early straight, closed off reasonably well over final 300M. Didn't have all favours.

Settled down 5Ls off the pace in midfield, well covered, kept battling away in straight without threatening.

In 5th spot ahead of midfield, wide no cover for most part, kept on same pace in straight and never a real danger to leaders.

From outside barrier dropped back to race in rear, moved closer passing 550M, got badly unbalanced top of straight when unable to improve, ran on only fairly thereafter.

Moderate jump, improved to race in midfield 4-5Ls back on fence, lacked the turn of foot, never a threat to leaders.

Restrained behind midfield 5Ls off the pace middle stages, pushed along 500M, kept on same pace to line, no threat to leaders.

Jumped on terms, eased back towards the rear 7Ls behind leader, into clear 450M but unable to quicken up under 10lb claiming rider.

Dropped back to be near last 8L off the pace, didn't run on entering straight, never a factor.

From wide barrier crossed to a 3-wide spot near the rear, over 8Ls off the pace 400M, failed to close off turning home, eased. (Jockey concerned horse's action.)
