Settled off the pace in the pack early - improved into contention approaching three out - lost momentum and was eased to a halt before the last
Settled towards the back early - clumsy at the 4th - shaken up and switched wide to gain ground after two out - edged into contention approaching the last - lost the advantage on the run-in - stayed on for second
Settled just behind the pace - asked for effort after 3 out - made progress 2 out - closed on the front-runner up the run-in - swept clear final 110yds to score
Settled towards the back but not far off pace - moved into contention approaching 2 out then pressed for effort before last - fought back late to claim second close home
