Raced wide, raced in third, headway and pressed leader home turn, led narrowly 3 out, good jump 2 out, soon clear, shaken up and went further clear run-in, readily (op 10/1)
Held up in rear, hit 5th, some headway and went modest third 2 out, kept on but no match for first two (trainer said gelding made a respiratory noise) (tchd 10/1)
Prominent early, bit short of room and not fluent 1st, soon dropped to rear but in touch with leaders, mistake 2nd, mistake 3rd, headway home turn, weakened gradually from 2 out, tailed off (trainer said, regarding the poor form shown, that gelding may have lost his confidence having got tightened for room jumping 1st hurdle and jumped poorly thereafter) (op Evens tchd 5/6)
Prominent, led narrowly after 1st, lost two places home turn, weakened before 2 out, pulled up before last (trainer could offer no explanation for the poor form shown other than jockey said gelding stopped quickly) (op 2/1)
