Chased leaders - pushed along over 3f out - ridden and kept on from over 2f out - switched left inside final furlong - ran on well to lead final strides (regarding the apparent improvement in form - trainer said he was disappointed with the run at the Curragh where the race was the last on an eight race program run on very testing underfoot conditions described as heavy ground - in his opinion the better ground today and the application of a tongue strap brought about the improved performance)(op 11/1)
