Waited with, 8th halfway, improved into 5th from 3 out, went 5th before last and kept on well into 2nd run-in, nearest finish (jockey said, regarding running and riding, that his orders were to get the gelding settled as it is keen and wears a hood, give it room to jump away and do his best from there, he felt he gave it a great ride, crept away while its jumping brought it into the race after the third last and from thereon he nurses it along until into the straight where others in front of it emptied and it stayed on until it emptied close to the line, he added that it doesn't respond to the whip and this is the way he would like to ride it in the future; vet said gelding returned lame in front) (op 10/1)
