Eager early and up with the front markers - eased back to settle last after the opening furlong - urged along two out - stayed on strongly a furlong out to move into second inside the final furlong - couldn't reel in the winner - finished second beaten a length and a quarter
Faye McManoman
Nigel Tinkler
Tardy start - settled at the back - gradual progress from 3f out - driven over 2f out - moved up to second over 1f out - edged out of that spot inside the final furlong and one-paced to finish third

Kevin & Lauren Frost
Settled with plenty of enthusiasm early on - hit the front - drifted right approaching 4f out - driven on with 2f left - overtaken inside the final furlong and faded
