In rear, hung right from over 4f out, eased from over 2f out (jockey said, regarding running and riding, his instructions were to get gelding to settle and to take his time, having previously run over a mile and stepping up to a 1m3f today; he explained that gelding settled nicely in rear of field in early stages before showing a tendency to hang right-handed on to the heels of Cloud Free down back-straight and continuing to do so when under pressure turning into home-straight, a fact he reported at scales; he added that gelding stepped quickly right-handed at the cutaway approximately 2f out, at which point he thought something could be amiss and therefore felt it prudent to ease gelding out of contention; his explanation was noted; jockey said gelding hung badly right-handed) (op 20/1 tchd 22/1)
