Raced in 3rd, took closer order over 3f out, upsides leader and going well over 1f out, shaken up and soon led, kept on well inside final furlong, comfortably (op 11/2)
Always in rear, lost touch from over 2f out, soon held (stwards inquired into running and riding; jockey said his instructions were to try and jump out and settle the gelding and make his effort in the final 2f; he added the gelding clipped the rail rounding the top bend which caused him to lose ground and that the gelding didn't enjoy being crowded by other horses; trainer's rep confirmed the instructions given and added that jockey had allowed the gelding to get too far back and was dissatisfied with the ride given) (op 3/1 tchd 5/2)
