br g Beneficial right - Greenhall Rambler (IRE) right (Anshan) right
Didn't jump with fluency, held up in last, steady headway and went modest third 4 out, ridden before 2 out, headway and went second inside final 110yds, kept on, no match for winner (stewards inquiry into running and riding; jockey said his orders were to drop in and get the gelding settled, as he has in the past ran keenly, before creeping through runners down the back straight and come with one run as gelding is a bridle horse; he added gelding jumped slowly down the back straight and made a bad mistake at 4 out, meaning he was therefore unable to creep into contention; trainer confirmed instructions and added because of jumping errors, gelding was further behind than he would have liked; their explanations were noted) (op 13/2)
