Held up, 9th halfway, not much room and checked slightly 3f out, headway between horses over 2f out into 2nd going well over 1f out, still plenty to do inside final furlong where ridden, kept on well in closing stages, not trouble winner (jockey said, regarding running and riding, that his orders were to get the gelding settled and creep into the race, as it was having a first try at the distance and was concious it might not get the trip, he raced towards the rear and was caught up with some back markers when turning into the straight, when he did get a clear run he squeezed it along and it galloped on but didn't pick up significantly for pressure; vet said gelding returned with skin scrapes off-fore) (op 100/30 tchd 2/1)
