Tracked leaders in 3rd, 4th 5 out, closer 2 out where rider briefly lost iron, challenged last, ridden to lead run-in and kept on best (trainer said, regarding the apparent improvement in form shown, that gelding is very difficult to train and has numerous little niggling problems; he said gelding had been almost ready to run on a few occasions since its last run only to meet with a setback; he said gelding was running in its first chase last time and made a number of errors; he said things went well for the gelding today and any improvement was down to its improved jumping) (op 10/3)
