Prominent, ridden and lost place rapidly after 5th, well tailed off in last after next, stayed on again before 2 out, finished well to take 3rd after last (jockey said, regarding running and riding, that his orders were to sit handy because the gelding had been reluctant in the past, it was soon outpaced because of the fast early pace, but having got back into the race it began to drop out at the start of the final circuit despite being given reminders, he considered pulling up but it appeared to get a second wind going down the hill and subsequently ran on past tired horses in the straight)
Chased leader to 4th, soon under strong pressure and dropped to rear, tailed off in 7th before 3 out, some progress past beaten rivals after, reached 4th 2 out, soon weakened (op 9/4 tchd 15/8)
Fractious preliminaries, held up in touch, progress to press leader after 5th until 3 out, weakened rapidly, tailed off and virtually pulled up after last
