Chart notes

BILLAL chased five paths off the inside down the backstretch in closest aim of the leader, tucked three wide through the turn coming under coaxing near the quarter pole, swung five wide into upper stretch, rallied to take command nearing the eighth pole, edged clear under a drive and was geared down in the final jumps to the finish. RIDGEWOOD RUNNER coaxed from the gate, showed the way in hand three then two wide coming under coaxing near the quarter pole, swung four wide into upper stretch, dug in under threat and was collared near the eighth pole, ran on to preserve the place honors clear of the rest. SPEED RUNNER coaxed from the start, chased four then three wide before briefly tucking to the two path half a mile from home and then making his way to the inside through the turn, came under coaxing at the five-sixteenths, swung three wide into upper stretch and kept on one paced to the finish. LAMBETH five paths off the inside down the backstretch, tucked briefly three wide before taking to the two path through the turn, came under coaxing at the five-sixteenths, swung five wide into upper stretch and weakened. LE VIN chased six paths off the inside down the backstretch and then four wide through the turn under coaxing from the three-eighths, angled six wide into upper stretch and tired.
