Held up towards the back and eager early - improved on the inside approaching 2f out to lie 5th - shaken up but couldn't find more - well held at the finish
Held up in the back markers - made steady progress to join front rank two out - moved clear into the straight going smoothly - driven and challenged hard near the final fence - overtaken close home and unable to quicken again - held on for second
Settled midfield early - moved into third after 4 out - improved position turning into straight - hit front just before 2 out despite a stumble there - pushed clear before the last - stayed on strongly to hold rivals to the line
