Handy near front early - clumsy over first and again 5th - third at halfway - pushed along after 3 out - unsteady 2 out - drifted right and dropped away late to finish 5th
soon in the pack - back in 7th by 4 out - made headway to 6th 2 out and up to 4th over the last - boxed in for a stride 100 yards out - held on for 3rd
Soon held up towards the back - a minor mistake at the 2nd - fell away from 4 out and never a threat
Held up towards the back - stumbled at the 2nd and needed encouragement - improved into 8th then 5th but unable to close - dropped away 2 out to finish well held
