Held up in rear, mistake 3rd, mistake 3 out, soon tenderly handled and tailed off (jockey was questioned regarding her riding; she said her instructions were to find the rail, try to get gelding to complete the course and obtain the best possible placing in the process, she said the pace was solid and as a consequence her mount had struggled to lay up throughout before adding that gelding had jumped the third last untidily before being quickly outpaced when not responding to her urgings shortly thereafter; she added that she considered it was in gelding's best interests to keep a good hold of his head with the odd slap down the neck and fill gelding up until well into straight to ensure that he finished the race off, whereupon when asked for a finishing effort between the last two hurdles, he stayed on at one-pace and passed two very tired horses before finishing 35 lengths behind third placed runner; vet said that a post-race exam failed to reveal any abnormalities; jockey's explanation was noted) (tchd 125/1)
