Tended to jump indifferently, settled in rear until effort 7th, 4th at next, 3 lengths 3rd and hard ridden 2 out, still 2 lengths down at last, only closed gradually but galvanised to get up on line despite edging left final strides, brilliant ride (trainer's rep said, regarding apparent improvement in form, that the gelding had benefited from the first-time cheek pieces.) (op 4/1)
Took keen hold, not fluent 2nd, pressed leader until not fluent 6th and ridden, soon hanging and racing awkwardly, not run on, tailed off and pulled up 2 out (jockey said gelding hung badly left.) (op 9/4 tchd 15/8)
