Took keen hold, held up in midfield, headway after 5th, pushed along and went third home turn, hit on nose by rival's whip but went second final 110yds, no match for winner (jockey said, regarding running and riding, that his instructions were to hold up gelding and concentrate on getting gelding settled as he is a big immature horse with limited experience; he added that on the approach to the third last hurdle he was focused on getting gelding balanced after which gelding jumped left-handed and continued to jump fractionally left-handed at the second-last and final hurdles before staying on at one pace to the line) (op 12/1)
Jumped left on occasions, novicey jumping, chased winner, jumped left and mistake 2 out, ridden and no impression approaching last, lost second and weakened final 110yds (op 16/5 tchd 5/2)
Midfield, lost position and became detached when dropped to last after 5th, tailed off from 3 out, finished lame (trainer said gelding was unsuited by the soft ground on this occasion and would prefer a faster surface; vet reported that a post-race examination revealed the gelding to be lame on his right-hind) (op 8/1)
