Held up on outside, steady headway before 2 out, pressed leader before last, challenged and ridden run-in, kept on to lead towards finish (trainer said, as to the apparent improvement in form, the gelding has regained its confidence having suffered from a fibrillating heart previously) (op 11/1 tchd 9/1 and tchd 14/1)
Led at modest gallop, ridden and headed between last 2, soon weakened (vet reported the gelding lost its left fore shoe) (op 4/6 tchd 8/13 and tchd 5/6)
Held up in touch, outpaced after 3 out (usual 4 out), driven and weakened from next (trainer's rep said gelding was unsuited by the heavy, soft in places ground on this occasion and would prefer a sounder surface) (op 16/1)
