Lockstockandbarrel chased leaders, driven and lost place after 6th, behind when pulled up after 8th

Top Dressing has won his three races at 2m, but he didn't fail through lack of stamina here, for after being held up, he came to challenge at the second last and just lost out. The pair finished clear of Classic Harry, who was never going well, but stayed on to be nearest at the finish. On this run he'll soon find a race.
