Settled in rear but pulled hard early - dropped away over 2f out and faded into 7th
Free-going in behind - pushed forward 1f out - one-paced to the line
Settled just behind the pace - urged forward 2f out - angled right approaching final furlong - stayed on to take third close home
Jumped awkwardly and lost ground at the outset - held up at the back of the field throughout - unable to make an impression and finished well beaten in 9th
