Held up towards back - still behind the pack early - up into 4th by 6th - unable to threaten leaders before the last and held on same tune to finish 4th
Held up at the back early - fourth some way behind the front-runner at halfway - jumped awkwardly 8th and unable to close - pushed along into second before 2 out but still unable to close on the front-runner - stayed on same gear to the line
Settled midfield - stumbled at the 4th - held that spot at halfway - moving smoothly turning into the straight despite a slip two out - hit the front approaching the last - driven out to assert on the run to the line and win
Settled handy early - hit front after the opening fence then lost that spot soon after - down to 5th by the 5th - jumping error and clipped it at the 9th - promoted into 3rd when another fell 3 out - pushed along in 3rd approaching 2 out - couldn't close on the leaders and met the last without pace - held on for the same placing at the finish
