2m 178y Good (Good to Firm in places)
handy, led 3rd, pushed along 2 out and faced challenges, battled on, ridden and headed final 110yds run-in, no extra
wore red hood to post, in rear, headway before 2 out and pushed along, ridden disputing third before last, no telling impression flat
chased leaders, ridden after 2 out, every chance last, kept on, held closing stages
towards rear, closer before 3 out, soon pressed leaders, ridden 2 out, weakened run-in
prominent, ridden 2 out and dropped away
led, not fluent 3rd and headed, remained close up, ridden and weakened tamely after 3 out, pulled up after 2 out
