Made all the running - three lengths clear at halfway - drifted left at the 7th - error 3 out - under pressure after 2 out - passed before the last - urged on run-in - stayed on but no answer to winner - 2nd
Held up in midfield - stumbled twice through the field - up to 3rd by halfway - urged into effort but slipped backwards after 3 out - pulled up before the final fence
Handy early - in front from 1st - error 3rd - drifted left 7th - clear by six lengths 3 out - blunder soon after cut margin - driven and drew level last with heavy error and lost front spot - unable to fight back - faded on run-in finishing sixth
Sat close to the pace early - shared front spot by the 9th before losing command approaching 2 out - faded late finishing well beaten
