Needwood Blade

Awkwardly away soon outpaced, never on terms

Led and raced keenly, headed 3f out, chased leaders, weakened final furlong

Tracked leader centre, ridden 2f out, weakened final furlong

Tracked leaders, ridden and no extra inside final furlong

With leader stands side, led that group inside final 2f, soon ridden, lost place 1f out, weakened inside final furlong

Mid-division, ridden over 1f out, never dangerous

Chased leaders, ridden 2f out, kept on same pace, no impression

In touch, lost place over 2f out, behind when edged left over 1f out, soon weakened

Chased leaders, lost place 2f out, weakened over 1f out

Soon outpaced, always in rear, lost touch final 2f
