Settled towards the back early - took a strong hold and jumped awkwardly around 4th or 5th - improved into 6th - moved onto the heels of the front pair after 3 out - advanced into 2nd approaching 2 out - overtaken by the winner and met the last in untidy fashion - stayed on at just the one gear to finish second

Towards the rear of the field - moved up to 3rd at the 5th - ridden from 2 out and already beaten before the last where jumping was untidy
