Led and soon well clear, slight mistake 3 out and ridden, advantage a little reduced next where good jump and again at last, stayed on gamely to hold on run-in
Soon chased leaders well off pace, poor 6th for much, a bit closer 2 out, chased winner last, kept on well under pressure run-in but not quite get there
Waited with well off pace in mid-division, headway to chase leaders after 3 out, no impression under pressure and kept on same pace from between last 2
