Behind, headway from 4 out, improved to 4th 3 out, led 2 out, kept on well (trainer said, regarding the improved form shown, gelding was expected to run well in blinkers at Cork last time but jumped poorly on good to firm ground despite having shown a liking for such ground; he added that gelding is difficult to train having had trouble with its knees, and perhaps the easier ground and dispensing of the blinkers benefited the gelding, who hangs badly in its races) (op 6/1)
