Sat close to the front group early - 5th at halfway - pushed along into 4th with 2f left - couldn't quicken from 1f out and stayed on same gear to finish 6th
Settled in the pack - 11th at halfway - made ground into 2f out but failed to threaten leaders entering straight - stayed on at one gauge to finish ninth
Settled just behind pace - still second at halfway - moved smoothly to hit the front two furlongs out - pushed on entering the straight - opened a big gap inside the last - held on gamely though margin shrank near the line to score
Went forward early before settling just behind the pace - third at halfway - pushed along 2f out - fought back into it a furlong out - hit the front inside the final 200 yards - won going away
