14:05 Leicester

mounted in chute, made virtually all, led narrowly or disputed lead, not fluent when led 2 out, nudged along and clear when hit last, eased inside final 110yds (trainer said, regarding the apparent improvement in form, gelding benefitted from the application of the visor for the first time)

disputed lead, pressed leader before 8th, raced in second before 4 out, no chance with winner run-in

towards rear, in touch with leaders before 6th, raced in third when not fluent before 13th, headway before 4 out, weakened before 2 out, no match for first two

towards rear, some headway and went modest fourth before 5 out, weakened before 3 out, tailed off (jockey said gelding was never travelling)

prominent, not fluent 9th, lost position gradually before 11th, dropped to rear before 5 out, tailed off before 4 out, pulled up before 3 out (trainer's rep could offer no explanation for the poor form shown)
