Driven and crossed to the lead, fought on well turning into straight, still 2Ls in front at 200M, ran out of steam late but gamely prevailed by a nose at the line.

Dropped back on jumping from a wide draw, settled down 3-wide in midfield, ran on well from 300M charging home late, just missed by a nose.

Began awkwardly, driven forward to track leader on inside, fought on steadily turning home, found extra late stages to be nearest at the line.

Caught wide no cover chasing leaders, tried hard from 400M, briefly went 2nd mid-straight, outran late to finish 4th but beaten less than 1L.

Dropped back to race at the tail of the field, swung wide for home, closed off well for 5th but not able to challenge first few.

Chased leaders in 4th early stages, shuffled back to midfield entering home turn, kept on mildly over final 300M, never a winning chance.

Jumped only fairly from wide gate then dropped back to race at the rear of the field, stayed on final 300M without threatening.

Jumped fairly, soon moved up to track the pace, in 2nd spot top of the straight, weakened from 200M. (Jockey could offer no excuse for the disappointing performance.)

Settled towards the rear, steadied near 1000M and 700M, into clear running 400M but ran on only fairly.

Refused to jump with the field and lost a significant amount of ground, 7Ls back in detached last turning for home, ran past a few beaten horses towards the line. (To consecutive barrier trials.)

Fractious as the start was effected, jumped awkwardly and lost ground, settled behind midfield along the fence, couldn't go on passing 300M.

Began fairly, held up midfield early stages before moving closer to leaders home turn, failed to pick up early straight, no extra 200M, faded to last.
