Took keen hold, in touch with leaders, not fluent 7th, headway after 3 out, outpaced on turn before last, rallied approaching last, ridden run-in, kept on well and led towards finish, all out (trainer said, regarding the apparent improvement in form, that the pre-race exertions on that occasion after unseating his rider and galloping loose on the way to post had taken their toll; gelding also appreciated returning to a course he had previously run well at) (tchd 11/2 and tchd 15/2)
In touch with leaders, dropped to last after 2 out, pulled up approaching last (jockey said gelding took a false step when going over the crossing approaching the last fence, so he therefore felt it prudent to pull gelding up) (op 9/4)
