Travelled strongly, in touch with leaders, headway and went second 13th, pressed leader 3 out, soon led, shaken up and went clear approaching last, nudged out run-in, readily (tchd 5/4 and tchd 13/8)
Led, hit 7th, bad mistake 3 out, soon headed, shaken up when not fluent 2 out, ridden and lost ground approaching last, weakened run-in (tchd 3/1 and tchd 7/2)
Took keen hold, raced in second, slow jump 3rd, not fluent 11th, soon shaken up, not fluent 12th, soon dropped to last, tailed off and pulled up after 13th (trainer said, regarding the poor form shown, that gelding was never travelling, was unsuited by the going and would benefit from a quicker surface) (op 5/2 tchd 9/4)
