Dropped back last and struggling before 6th, soon badly tailed off (jockey said regarding the running and riding, that her instructions were to be handy but stay wide, as the gelding has displayed a tendency to run out at his jumps. She added that, having broken well, the gelding gradually became outpaced due to the strong gallop and failed to respond to her urgings throughout the first circuit. She further added that the gelding made several jumping errors and became tired in the back straight, on this his first run for four hundred and twenty-seven days, by which stage the gelding had become well-detached from the main division) (op 13/2 tchd 6/1)
