Jumping lacked conviction and tending to go left, tracked leaders, hard driven 3 out, looked outpaced after, still 3 lengths 4th at last, stayed on under pressure to pass wobbling rivals near finish (op 5-6, tchd Evens in a place)
Soon led, driven and joined 2 out, led again flat, went left 100yds out and bumped rival, plugged on gamely until headed near finish (op 11-2 tchd 10-1)
Dropped back 4th and pushed along at 4th, not travelling after, lost touch 8th, tailed off and pulled up 2 out (jockey said gelding was unsuited by the good to soft (good in places) ground) (op 33-1)
