Raced in third early, went second 2nd, pressed leader 9th, led going best before last, ridden run-in, much reduced lead final 110yds, just held on (tchd 9/2 and tchd 6/1)
Didn't always jump with fluency, held up in rear, saddle slipped 2nd, not fluent 4 out, still plenty to do 2 out, rallied and headway before last, went second run-in, kept on well final 110yds, just failed (jockey said his saddle slipped at 2nd fence and gelding made a mistake at 4th last fence causing him to lose ground and momentum before staying on to pass tiring horses) (op 2/1 tchd 15/8 and tchd 16/5)
Raced in second early, not fluent and lost position 2nd, pecked on landing 3rd, no extra from 2 out, weakened before last (op 13/2 tchd 3/1 and tchd 7/1)
