Didn't jump with fluency, made all, jumped slightly right 9th, pushed along after 3 out, went clear before 2 out, idled and drifted right run-in, pushed out (tchd 6/5)
Took keen hold, held up in last, going okay when close up after 3 out, pushed along and no extra before 2 out, weakening and no chance when jumped left last, no match for winner (op 12/1)
Raced in second, niggled along briefly after 8th, shaken up before 9th, pushed along before 3 out, ridden and lost position before 2 out, soon eased and pulled up (trainer's representative could offer no explanation for gelding's poor performance other than that he was never travelling; post-race examination failed to reveal any abnormalities)
