Towards rear of midfield, pushed along and lost touch 5th, ridden and stayed on from 3 out, never on terms (jockey said, regarding running and riding, that his instructions were to be positive but allow gelding to find a rhythm and get his confidence whilst trying to achieve his best possible placing on this his first hurdle run; he explained that he was outpaced from the off due to the decent early pace so was further back than he had intended and lost further ground as the field accelerated down the back straight; he added that he was squeezing the gelding along and giving the gelding slaps down the neck in order to improve his position and, despite jumping well throughout, had been unable to make up any ground until entering the home straight from which point he was only passing tired horses which had tried to lay up with the pace and also came to end of its run jumping the last hurdle; jockey confirmed he had reported back to trainer that gellding had jumped well but felt would appreciate better ground and a longer trip than today's 2 miles) (op 80/1)
