Held up towards the back - stumbled at the 2nd - unable to make an impression thereafter - well beaten in 18th
Sat close to the front group - moved into 3rd three out - urged forward on the inside turning for home - asked for more after two out but had little left and slipped to 4th before the last - stayed on at one speed to finish 4th
Set the pace early - slightly awkward first fence - urged on approaching 2 out - driven and quickly challenged hard - overtaken close to the final fence - stayed on gamely to the line but outdone by the winner
Handy early - hit the front 2nd - shared the running before 4th before going back in command after 5th - stumbled 11th - came down 4 out
