Severely tightened for room on jumping and lost ground. Steadied away from heels passing the 1100m and shifted out. Shifted out away from LI’L RODGE approaching the 250m and in doing so became unbalanced.

Began awkwardly and shifted in. Raced keenly passing the 1100m and had to be steadied away from the heels of A LITTLE CRAFTY and in doing so shifted in, bumping A CASTLETON. Raced three wide without cover after passing the 900m and continued to overrace and proved difficult to ride.
