Held up handy early - pressed for effort inside final furlong - gave best in closing stages - finished 7th
Settled close to the front - shared control approaching final 2f - moved into second with a furlong left and looked booked for a big finish into the closing stages - lost momentum near the line but hung on for third
Went straight to front - pressed for effort inside final furlong - overtaken soon after and unable to quicken - finished 6th beaten 2 lengths
Tracked the pace - travelling smoothly with 2f left - pushed along a furlong out - stayed on inside the final stages but no match for the winner
