Took keen hold, prominent, not fluent 3 out, pushed along to lead 2 out, ridden when drifted left last, reduced lead final 110yds, just did enough (trainer said, regarding the apparent improvement in form, that gelding was suited by the good ground, as well as a step up in trip from 1m7f to 3m on this occasion) (op 8/1 tchd 5/1)
Didn't always jump with fluency, held up in rear, not fluent 7th, not fluent 9th, headway 10th, not fluent 2 out, chased clear leader approaching last, kept on well run-in, just failed (op 11/2 tchd 9/2)
Prominent, outpaced and dropped to rear 10th, lost touch 11th, pulled up before 2 out (trainer could offer no explanation for the poor form shown) (op 13/8)
