Took keen hold, held up in rear, nudged along 2f out, not clear run under 2f out, ran green but headway from over 1f out, ran on well to lead inside final 110yds, cosily (trainer said, regarding the apparent improvement in form, that gelding had benefitted from a step up in trip) (op 9/2)

Awkward start, pulled hard, in touch with leaders, niggled along 3f out, dropped to rear and ridden over 1f out, weakened and lost touch inside final furlong (jockey said gelding jumped awkwardly and ran too free early) (op 16/1)
