Took keen hold, held up in rear, steady headway going easily over 1f out, not clear run inside final furlong, soon shaken up, never near to challenge (jockey said gelding ran too free; an enquiry was held into the running and riding of the gelding; the rider and the trainer were interviewed and shown recordings of the race, the rider stated the gelding had run very free in its previous races, so his instructions were to obtain cover and settle him, he added that the gelding was again slightly free in the early stages today, a fact which he reported at Scales, but that he travelled well into the race, before being short of room when going for a run between MR KODI and POTTERS QUESTION, after which the gelding stayed on at one pace, the trainer stated he was satisfied with the ride and it accorded with instructions given, adding that in time, assuming that he settles better, the gelding may be suited by a step up in trip) (tchd 125/1)
