Raced in last, reminder after 1st, ridden when midfield after 8th, weakened after 2 out (prior to this race, trainer's rep was asked to explain the reason why he was running here on going described as good to soft, good in places having reported that he would prefer softer ground following his run over fences at Wincanton on 2 February 2023 on ground described as good to soft; trainer's rep explained they were prepared to let gelding take his chance on the ground on this occasion by reverting back to hurdles and on a more galloping track, which was noted) (op 40/1)
