chased leaders, hit 11th, went 2nd 4 out (normal 5 out) led before 2 out (normal 3 out), ridden and headed last, not pace of winner but kept on for clear 2nd

chased leaders on inside, pushed along before 2 out (normal 3 out), weakened between last two

off the pace in last pair on inside, gained a place 10th, pushed along and unable to quicken home turn, moderate 5th before 2 out (normal 3 out) never enough pace to threaten

held up off the pace in last trio, lost a place 10th, never involved

raced wide, led, clear after 2nd until next, headed 6th, led again next, headed 12th, chased leaders, weakened quickly after 3 out (normal 4 out) tailed off
