chased leaders, every chance over 2f out, kept on same pace approaching final furlong
held up towards rear, headway to chase leaders over 1f out, never on terms
mid-division, under pressure halfway, never dangerous
behind, detatched halfway, never a factor
steadied in rear, behind, headway over 1f out, never nearer
tracked leaders, driven to challenge over 2f out, led over 1f out, stayed on well
dwelt, behind, never a factor
chased leaders, under pressure over 1f out, soon lost place
prominent, effort over 2f out, every chance when hung left over 1f out, not pace of winner
set strong pace, hard pressed over 2f out, headed over 1f out, weakening when short of room over 1f out
