Behind, struggling 9th, headway to chase (clear) winner 2 out, no impression (jockey said, regarding running and riding, his orders were to drop the gelding in and get it to relax into a rhythm, adding he was able to do this but felt the gelding blew up shortly after the open ditch on far side, he then gave it a breather, and on turn into home straight it again blew up before staying on pass tiring horses to take 2nd place: trainer added that gelding had only been able to school on grass, and had no access to all-weather gallop and hoped the gelding would benefit from the race) (op 10-1 tchd 11-1)
