Slotted into a 3-wide position in midfield, worked into the race well passing 500M, let down well early straight and battled his way to the lead near 50M. Gamely prevailed.

Away fast and led 1L on settling, tried hard passing 300m and maintained the lead until near 50M when winner battled past. Good effort.

Taken back from wide draw, settled near last early stages before moving closer to midfield passing 600M, wide into straight then drove hard to go 3rd near line.

Jumped awkwardly, settled towards the rear early stages, improved to midfield mid-race, came with a decent finish passing 300M to just miss 3rd in a tight photo finish.

Broke well, restrained to race behind midfield on settling, 4Ls to make up on leaders 400M, worked home steadily but always held by first few.

Jumped on terms, caught racing wide without cover from draw 11, moved forward 550M to press leaders, fought hard to mid-straight but was overrun late.

Pressed on after the start to be chasing leader on outside, stayed in touch with leaders early straight but lacked a kick final stages and was safely held in the end.

Jumped well enough from draw 1, chased leaders into straight, could not pick up well enough and just battled to the line.

Reserved in second half of the field, got shuffled back to the rear over the home turn, lacked a finishing response on straightening. (Jockey : no explanation for the disappointing performance / No Vet findings.)

A little slow to begin and ended up last on settling, raced keenly throughout the early and middle stages, swung wide into straight but the finishing response was only fair.

Tracked leaders in 3rd place early, shuffled back passing 700M, failed to respond and drifted out of contention early straight.

Jumped fairly, settled at the back of the field, saved ground on the turn but showed no turn of foot on straightening. Never involved.
