Taken down early, steadied start, held up in rear, closed and not clear run over 2f out, headway to chase leaders on inner 2f out, ridden to lead 1f out, soon clear and ran on strongly, readily (op 9/1)
Held up in touch towards rear, ridden, headway and switched right 3f out, chased leaders over 1f out, switched right 1f out, stayed on to go 2nd final 100yds, kept on but no chance with winner
Dwelt, headway to lead over 10f out and raced keenly in front, ridden well over 1f out, drifted right and headed 1f out, soon beaten, lost 2nd and weakened final 100yds (op 11/1)
Chased leaders, went 2nd 7f out, ridden over 3f out, still close enough but unable to quicken over 1f out, weakened inside final furlong (op 2/1 tchd 7/4)
Bustled along leaving stalls, in touch in midfield, effort to chase clear leading pair 3f out, lost place and beaten 2f out, no chance when hampered over 1f out (trainer's rep said, regarding running, that the gelding was unsuited by the Tapeta surface which, in her opinion, was too slow for it) (op 5/2)
Led until over 10f out, chased leader until 7f out, chased leaders after until lost place under pressure 3f out, tailed off and eased final furlong (jockey said gelding had no more to give)
