Sat just off the pace early - 4th at halfway - pushed along from 2 out but unable to close before the final fence
Settled midfield early - moved into 4th two out - going smoothly and up to 2nd after that - hit the front approaching the last but urged out under sustained challenge - overtaken inside the final furlong - dropped to 3rd finishing without further response
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
