Settled just behind the pace early - improved into second by the 5th - moved up into contention after the 6th - hit the front before four out - slightly awkward two out - went on and opened a big gap before the last - stayed on strongly for a comfortable win
Settled up with the pace early - 5th at halfway then improved into 3rd two out and 2nd turning into the straight - unable to threaten the winner before blundering and losing rider at the last
Settled fourth early - urged for effort with 3f left then pressed for response 2f out - dropped away steadily inside the final furlong to finish fifth
Settled in the pack - lost touch approaching 3f out - dropped away over 2f out - well held at the finish
