Held up, mistake 8th, headway 4 out, kept on (jockey said, regarding the running and riding, he had no specific instructions but on this, the horse's first run over fences, he was to ride gelding as he found it; he added gelding was rushed off its feet in early stages and, having made a number of jumping mistakes, he felt gelding was unlikely to get into contest at end of back straight; he further added gelding stayed on at one pace as the leaders came back to him without really picking up under hands and heels riding.)
