Held up in rear, not fluent 5th, not fluent and lost touch 6th, tailed off (trainer said gelding was never travelling; vet examined gelding during routine testing and had nothing to report) (op 10/3)
Led, not fluent 3rd, headed 3 out, weakened quickly then hit 2 out, soon pulled up (trainer said, regarding the poor form shown, that gelding was unsuited by the soft (good to soft in places) ground on this occasion, which, in his opinion was riding tacky, and would prefer a sounder surface) (op 12/1)
Prominent, weakened 6th, pulled up before 3 out (trainer said, regarding the poor form shown, that gelding may be feeling the effects of a long season; vet examined gelding post-race and had nothing to report) (op 9/1)
Raced wide, in touch with leaders, prominent after 3rd, weakened quickly before 6th, pulled up before 3 out (trainer's rep could offer no explanation for the poor form shown; vet examined gelding post-race and had nothing to report) (op 15/2 tchd 10/1)
