Settled at the back early - clipped the fourth-last fence - moved into contention on the inner and shifted out entering the straight - up to third before the final fence - into second before the last - kept on at one tempo without threatening the winner
Brendan Powell
Joe Tizzard
Set the pace early with an odd left-hand deviation over obstacles - driven up and overtaken 3 out - stayed on terms with the winner briefly before fading badly under pressure and slipping out of second before the last - couldn't find more and finished third

Sat close behind leader early - inside spot in third turning through the field - needed a nudge from the 8th - dropped a place before 3 out with an untidy jump then faded between the last two
