Settled with plenty of enthusiasm early - up with the pace and went clear from the 3rd - a length to the good 3 out - needed urging soon after - overtaken 2 out - lost touch with new leader - unable to fight back on the run to the line

Handy early - drifted left at the 1st - disputed front from 4th - still close up 3 out - eased back to third under pressure and held that spot to the finish

Close to the pace early - hampered at the first - urged along towards the back before 3 out and unable to make gains from 2 out - eventually finished fourth well beaten
