Raced mid-pack - pushed along before 3 out - made no inroads and jumped poorly 2 out - finished 5th well held
Settled at the back early - gradually crept into the picture from 8th to 5th - 4th three out - moved up to join issue turning in - went to the front before 2 out - four lengths ahead when a small error at the last - kept battling to win
Settled in the pack early - moved into 5th under pressure two out and held that spot at the last - stayed on same gait to finish 4th
Sat behind the pace - hit the front smoothly after 2 out then pressed for effort - lost the advantage at the last - regained command inside final furlong - overhauled and couldn't find more late to finish second by a half-length
