Took keen hold, always towards rear, going okay but still plenty to do 2f out, not clear run over 1f out, switched left and pushed along inside final furlong, kept on final 110yds (jockey said, regarding running and riding, that his instructions were to drop in, get cover and finish in the best possible position as gelding had not run since the 19 September 2020 and has a history of racing keen; jockey added that it took approximately 110yds for the gelding to settle and relax on the bridle and that his plan was to wait for a clear run when approaching the dip; he further added that at approximately over 2f out, rather than take the small gap in between two rivals, he felt the better option would be to wait for sufficient room to enable him to come with a late run but was unable to switch to his left due to the proximity of a rival's heels, who was racing just ahead of him; jockey said that at approximately over 1f out, when attempting to go for a gap, he was denied a clear run as a result of a rival drifting slightly left-handed and thereafter failed to quicken, staying on one-paced to the line passing only two tired horses; jockey said the gelding would appreciate being dropped back to its optimum trip of 5f the future; his explanations were noted) (op 11/1)
