Towards rear - hampered by faller 3rd - chased leaders after 6th - left in fourth 12th - went third 4 out - went second before 3 out - ridden after 2 out - ran on well run-in - led post (trainer said - regarding apparent improvement in form - that his charge wore blinkers at Leopardstown and lost his position when two horses fell in front of him at the first fence and was unable to regain the lost ground to get back into contention. He added that the softer ground conditions today and the omission of blinkers may also have contributed to the improved performance)(op 14/1 tchd 12/1)
