He continued that he jumped well and that he was happy to get cover in the early stages and intended to take his time, he added that he has ridden the gelding before and when he felt the pace slow down in the back straight, he was aware that this would not be suited to him, he explained that the gelding needs to be held together as he tires quickly and is best suited by a strong pace and only being asked for one strong run, he continued that in the final half furlong he was passing tired horses making his finishing efforts look exaggerated, his explanation was noted) (op 12/1)
