Chased clear leader throughout, no impression from 4f out (inquiry held into running and riding of horses which allowed Sax Appeal to establish a sizeable lead having taken hold of the bit in the early and middle stages of the race; jockey said he became immediately aware that a sizeable margin was developing and asked his mount for an effort to close the gap; jockey went on to say that from this stage of race he was without cover resulting in his mount not taking hold of the bit and travelling comfortably and unable to make up significant ground) (tchd 15/2 and tchd 10/1)
Held up in rear, brief headway over 2f out, went modest third inside final 110yds (inquiry held into running and riding of horses which allowed Sax Appeal to establish a sizeable lead having taken hold of the bit in the early and middle stages of the race; jockey said that having jumped on terms from stall one she was satisfied having taken up a position at rear of field and expressed that her options were limited due to being behind a wall of horses turning into home straight at which point she was able to pass runners to finish in 3rd position) (op 7/2 tchd 9/2)
Took keen hold, prominent behind clear leader throughout, no impression from 4f out, lost position inside final 110yds (inquiry held into running and riding of horses which allowed Sax Appeal to establish a sizeable lead having taken hold of the bit in the early and middle stages of the race; jockey said having placed 2nd at Lingfield on 16th February over 1m2f his mount was being stepped up in trip to 1m4f for the first time at Southwell this evening and being unsure of gelding's stamina over longer trip his instructions were to settle early and quicken up off home bend; in his opinion jockey felt that he had ridden to his instructions however despite placing fourth; jockey said gelding had not finished race off strongly on this occasion) (op 5/2)
Midfield behind clear leader, no impression from 4f out (inquiry held into running and riding of horses which allowed Sax Appeal to establish a sizeable lead having taken hold of the bit in the early and middle stages of the race; jockey said was never travelling, a fact which he had reported at scales, and that he had asked his mount for an effort turning into home straight but that, despite this, gelding had not quickened) (op 11/1)
