Mid-division, took keen hold early, not fluent 1st, pushed along and disputed 12th after 2 out, kept on one pace (vet said gelding sustained a cut to it's left hind cannon. jockey said, regarding running and riding, his instructions were to jump off in mid-division, give his mount plenty of time to jump as he can be a very cold jumper and to do the best he could. he added his mount jumped and settled well but backed off on the approach to his hurdles. he conceded that he could have been seen to look stronger in the closing stages without reverting to use of the whip as instructed by the trainer, but felt he would not have finished any closer. trainer confirmed the instructions given and expressed his satisfaction with the ride. he described his charge as a cowardly type despite having plenty of ability and outlined the animals previous good form on the flat. he felt the ground today was not a factor and felt that his charge would have to learn how to attack his hurdles in order to be more competitive in future and may consider running him over a longer trip where he would have more time between hurdles)
