Tracked leading pair, went 2nd over 4f out, ridden to lead over 1f out, stayed on well (trainer said, regarding the apparent improvement of form, that the gelding had had a long break from running on the flat and appreciated the step up to two miles and drop in class) (op 7/2 tchd 4/1)
Held up in midfield, progress to go 3rd over 3f out, driven and not quicken well over 1f out, kept on to take 2nd just inside final furlong, no impression on winner (op 7/2)
Close up, ridden over 4f out, lost place and beaten 3f out, tailed off (jockey said the gelding hung left throughout; vet said the gelding lost a right hind shoe) (op 10/1)
Started slowly, mostly in last pair, well tailed off final 3f (jockey said the gelding was slowly away; vet said the gelding was lame right hind) (tchd 8/1)
