Wore red hood to post, fractious in paddock, settled to track front pair, shaken up and led 2f out, soon edged left to rail, pushed along and clear 1f out, eased closing stages and just held on
Chased leaders, pushed along well over 2f out, stayed on and ridden over 1f out, went 2nd over 110 yards out, ran on and closing at finish, flattered by proximity to eased down winner
