Made all, travelling best from 4 out, ridden when mistake next, stayed on well when challenged run-in (trainer said, regarding the improved form shown, gelding was not suited by the long run to a couple of fences at Gowran two runs ago, adding that the fitting of blinkers today, combined with the mistakes made by some of today's rivals, helped the gelding return to form)
