Made all, jumped well, soon 7 lengths clear, still 6 lengths clear 4 out, soon extended advantage, 10 lengths clear last, briefly pushed along to go well clear on run-in, coasted home final furlong, easily (tchd 11/4)
Chased clear leader, 10 lengths ahead of rest of field 4 out, pushed along before 2 out, struggling in 2nd when 10 lengths behind winner at final fence, soon driven, weakened and passed by rest of runners on run-in (stewards considered running of gelding; trainer's rep had no explanation for the poor form shown other than he may have been unsuited by the good to soft, good in places going on this occasion, which in his opinion was riding dead; vet said a post-race examination of the gelding during routine testing found the gelding to have lost its left-fore shoe and to have suffered a small overreach to the bulb of its left-fore heel) (op 6/4)
