Steadied start, held up in last pair, stumbled and rider looking down over 4f out, eased and virtually pulled up from over 3f out, well tailed off (jockey said, regarding running and riding, his instructions were to see how he jumped, settle the horse and finish in the best possible position. He stated the gelding had lost it's action on a couple of occasions and eased the horse, as he felt the gelding may have injured himself. He later reported the gelding had lost it's action at scale. The trainer confirmed these instructions; vet confirmed gelding appeared to be intermittently lame on both front legs.) (op 12-1)
