In touch, ridden and effort entering final 2f, led over 1f out, stayed on strongly and drew clear final furlong, readily (trainer said, regarding apparent improvement in form, that the gelding had strengthened up since last year and possibly benefited from the heavy ground.) (op 28-1 tchd 33-1)
Held up towards rear, ridden and headway just over 2f out, went 3rd and switched left 1f out, no chance with winner but kept on to go 2nd final 50yds (jockey said filly was denied a clear run) (op 11-2 tchd 9-2)
In touch, ridden and effort to chase leaders entering final 2f, beaten 1f out, weakened final furlong (trainer said filly was unsuited by the heavy ground) (op 12-1)
Dwelt, always towards rear, lost touch over 2f out, tailed off and eased final furlong (trainer's rep had no explanation for the poor form shown) (op 4-1 tchd 7-2 and 5-1)
Raced alone towards far side for over 1f, gradually came back towards centre and rejoined field halfway, ridden along throughout, midfield until weakened halfway, tailed off and eased final furlong (op 7-1)
