Made all the running early on - overtaken approaching 2 out then dropped to 3rd and drifted right at that fence - untidy at the last under urging - kept on strongly on the run-in but could not quite reach the front pair - third

Prominent in 3rd early - scruffy over fences with errors at the 2nd and 8th and veered right at the 6th - sank to the back and blundered again at the 9th - soon under pressure and making no progress - folded after 3 out and finished well adrift in 4th
