Made all, readily went clear 15th and in no danger after 3 out, eased flat, unchallenged, very easily (prior to the race the stewards raised a query with the trainer into the reason why he was running the gelding here on going described as Good, having reported that the gelding would prefer a quicker surface following its run at Cheltenham on 5 May 2017, where the going was officially recorded as Good. They noted the trainers explanation that the ground at Cheltenham was, in his opinion, softer than the official going description and the gelding should be better suited by the faster surface here) (op 7/4 tchd 5/2)
Chased leaders, jumped slowly and dropped to 4th 13th, urged along and jumped slowly again next, outpaced and no chance with winner after, plugged on to battle for well beaten 2nd 2 out, went modest 2nd flat (op 11/8)
Jumped well, tracked leaders until went 2nd but winner going clear 15th, driven after 3 out, no response and soon well beaten, lost modest 2nd flat (op 8/1 tchd 10/1)
