Set the pace from the off - drifted right at the 6th - driven forward before the final two fences then went further ahead - kept finding to the line
Alex Harvey

Handy in 3rd early despite a mistake at the first - shared 2nd from the 8th - held that spot 3 out - error 2 out prompted a rousting - driven approaching the last but couldn't close - stayed on same gear to finish 2nd

Up with the front runner and pulling slightly - cleared the 2nd fence boldly but not neat at the 3rd - contested 2nd from the 8th and 3rd when untidy 3 out - off the bridle 2 out with no headway made - error at the last and unseated rider
