Pushed forward under 10lb claimer, crossed to lead just before the turn, kept responding in straight, dug deep closing stages to fend off a strong challenge from the runner up.

Tracked leaders 2-wide, into top gear chasing winner from 250M, held by short head. Well clear from remainders.

Jumped well from draw 1, chased leaders, checked 850M and drifted back to midfield, ran on well in the straight to get 3rd but couldn't reach first 2.

Checked at the start, raced in 2nd last, badly held up 300M-150M, chased strongly when clear to just miss 3rd. Entitled to finish closer.

Jumped evenly, drifted back to race towards the rear, wide home turn, closed off well down outside, nearest finish. (Lame next day.)

Dropped back from wide barrier, improved position to be racing behind midfield home turn, brought wide to challenge making some late headway without threatening.

Brushed with rivals after the start, raced in mid-division, 3-wide no cover from 900M, kept on evenly on straightening, held ground final 200M.

Hampered at the start, restrained in midfield, pushed along from 600M, kept grinding on early straight but unable to quicken final 250M. (Jockey : first time race round a turn may contribute to disappointing performance.)

Pressed forward to be outside leader entering the turn, ran on early straight and had every possible chance, peaked on its run 200M, weakened towards the line.

Eased back to rear from wide barrier, moved closer to be just behind midfield 700M, 5Ls to make up 400M, not much into finishing effort.

Raced in mid-division, 3-wide making home turn, came off bridle 600M, didn't finish off the race.

Up with early pace, severely checked 900M, in 3rd place home turn, found no extra passing 300M, weakened away.

Reared at the start losing ground, detached in rear, eased down turning home, finished tailed out. (Unacceptable Performance.)
