Led, headed but prominent after 1f, pushed along under 3f out, ridden and led over 1f out, went clear inside final furlong, comfortably (trainer's rep said, regarding the apparent improvement in form, that gelding had benefitted from an 86-day break and a step back up in trip to 1 mile 1 1/2 furlongs, which was noted) (op 13/8 tchd 11/8)
Took keen hold, in touch with leaders, lost position and pushed along 3f out, struggling from 2f out (trainer had no explanation for the poor form shown other than jockey reported that gelding had run flat and stopped quickly; vet said a post-race examination failed to reveal any abnormalities) (op 6/1)
