From draw 1 restrained to race in midfield, worked into the race well 350M, quickened up to lead mid-straight, joined by rival final 150M, gamely prevailed by nose after a duel.

Reserved in mid-division, travelled well into straight, made good headway and vied for the lead over final 100M, just denied by nose.

Not hurried after the start, raced as the back-marker 8-9Ls off leader, brought widest home and finished off nicely for 3rd.

Settled behind midfield in first half of the race, drifted back to near the rear entering home turn, brought wide into straight and came with a moderate finish.

Crowded on jumping, dropped back to race near the tail of the field, plenty of work to do 400M, closed off well without threatening first few.

Given a waiting ride towards the rear, saved ground on inside but was held up for clear running home turn, steadied 250M when trying to get through a narrow gap, kept on fairly final 200M.

Stayed close enough to leaders throughout, quickened to challenge for lead early straight but run ended 200M, no extra close home. (Bled.)

Led early stages before settling back in 5th, couldn't quicken enough on straightening, no threat from 200M.

Jumped awkwardly, went forward pressing the pace, in 3rd place making the home turn but couldn't sustain run early straight, drifted out of contention 250M.

Jumped awkwardly then dropped back to race at the rear, 7Ls to make up 400M but failed to make much progress.

Jumped awkwardly, took up running 1200M, pressed by rival middle stages and under pressure home turn, soon dropped away. (Jockey: Not intended to lead, disadvantaged by being pressured in the lead.)

Caught racing wide no cover early stages then ridden forward to take up a position outside the lead, came up empty on straightening, weakened rapidly to finish last.
