In touch with leaders - headway and prominent 3f out - challenging when ridden on far side of group under 2f out - led narrowly inside final furlong - just held on (trainer said - regarding the apparent improvement in form - that a combination of a drop in trip and it being a weak race may have contributed to the improved performance today - which was noted)(Mkt1: op 9/1 tchd 11/1; Mkt2 op 11/1)
