Waited with in rear of mid-division, headway from before 3 out to chase leaders in 6th before next where not fluent, ridden and kept on well under pressure in 3rd from last to lead near finish (trainer said, regarding the apparent improvement of form, that the gelding disappointed on his last start on heavy ground at Limerick, but that the horse was only in her care for three weeks prior to that. She added that the horse really appreciated today's good ground) (op 25/1)
Never better than mid-division, ridden and no impression before 2 out, kept on one pace (jockey said that his instructions were to settle his mount in mid division and to hold onto him as long as
possible before riding a race; he added that the horse jumped off further back than ideal, ran very keen on the first circuit and became unbalanced down the hill before staying on well from the turn into the straight; he concluded by saying that, in hindsight, he may have misjudged things by leaving it too late to put his horse into the race but that he was trying to do his best for the horse. In his evidence Mr Ahern confirmed the instructions and stated that his charge ran very free in his last race. He also expressed his dissatisfaction with the ride by saying that the rider left it too late to make up ground.)
