Up with the pace - untidy at the 6th - took over approaching 3 out but jumped that fence clumsily - driven to forge ahead before the last - value for more than the winning margin

Settled with plenty of enthusiasm early - tracked the front group and went up into second - hit the front approaching 3rd - overtaken before 3 out then drifted off a true line and dropped a place before 2 out - fought back to reclaim second on the run-in - unable to trouble the winner - finished second beaten 15 lengths
