Led, mistake 4th, joined after 4 out and headed before next, no extra and dropped to 3rd before 2 out, weakened before last where mistake, one pace run-in (jockey said gelding made a respiratory noise in running.)
Always towards rear, no impression before 3 out, kept on one pace from next (jockey said, regarding running and riding, that his orders were to settle the gelding in mid-div, get it into a good jumping rhythm and to do his best, he added that it was keen early stages and ended up further back than ideal, felt that it jumped novicey, was unable to go with the pace leaving the back straight and stayed on at one pace in the straight.)
Towards rear, slightly hampered 6th, no impression before 3 out, kept on one pace from next (jockey said, regarding running and riding, that his orders were to settle the gelding in mid-div and to get it jumping by giving it some daylight, he added that the horse jumped right at times and made a respiratory noise in running, he pushed it out to the line but did not resort to the whip as he was conscious of the respiratory problem, he concluded saying that in hindsight he should have pulled up. The trainer, confirmed the instructions and added that the gelding should improve with experience and be seen to better effect in handicaps and taking into account that it made a respiratory noise he would have preferred to see it pulled up.)
