raced in second, lost position but prominent after 8th, disputed lead before 4 out, led 3 out, mistake last, ridden and kept on run-in (trainer said, regarding the apparent improvement in form, gelding was possibly suited by a return to Leicester where the gelding had run well previously)

took keen hold, in touch with leaders, headway and pressed leader after 8th, disputed lead from 12th, bad mistake and lost position 3 out, rallied before 2 out, no extra inside final 110yds

OUR TIP

in touch with leaders, prominent before 4 out, not fluent last, soon weakened gradually

jumped right throughout, held up in rear but in touch with leaders, not fluent 9th, headway before 4 out, weakened from 2 out (trainer had no explanation for the poor form shown)

didn't always jump with fluency, held up in rear but in touch with leaders, struggling after 5 out, pulled up home straight

led, soon clear, reduced lead before 5th, disputed lead from 12th, lost position before 4 out, soon weakened quickly, pulled up home straight
