Sat behind front group early - driven up into second approaching final 2f before failing to gain ground and slipping back a spot inside final furlong - unable to find more late
Sat close to front - urged forward 2f out then briefly went in front - caught approaching final furlong - held same rhythm to finish third
Raced fresh early and set the pace - pressed and driven along 3f out - stayed on going into the final furlong - edged sideways and lost front spot near the last 110yds - couldn't quicken again close home - clung on for third at the finish
Held up in the pack - pressed for effort with 2f left - unable to close - finished eighth
