Travelled strongly, in rear, steady headway over 2f out, kept on well final 110yds, nearest finish and eyecatcher (inquiry into running and riding; jockey said that his instructions were to obtain cover in order to settle filly which has shown a tendency to race freely in her previous runs; he added that he ended up further back than intended having been squeezed out early but was happy with his poition off what he felt was a strong early pace; he added that approx 2f out, he found himself on the heels of a weakening filly, forcing him to delay his ask for an effort and to have to switch inside for a run causing mare to lose some momentum, resulting in her being slow to pick up again before finishing strongly; trainer said that he agreed with instructions, though he had hoped to obtain a position midfield, he was satisfied with ride as a whole and felt mare had shown improved form today) (op 7/1)
In rear, headway on near side of group over 2f out, hung right over 1f out, briefly went third inside final furlong, kept on (jockey said gelding hung right-handed under pressure) (op 7/1)
Pulled hard, midfield, towards rear over 7f out, headway over 2f out, soon not clear run repeatedly, switched left and kept on when in the clear inside final furlong, did well in the circumstances (jockey said gelding ran too free and was denied a clear run for an extended period in straight) (op 12/1)
Took keen hold, in touch with leaders, dropped to midfield and outpaced 3f out, weakened over 1f out (trainer's rep could offer no explanation for the poor form shown) (op 4/1)
