Led but pestered, headed but pressed leader 10th, pushed along and lost position after 14th, dropped to rear 3 out, behind when fell 2 out (an inquiry was held to consider whether jockey had continued in race when it was contrary to gelding's welfare, before falling at second-last fence; vet said that a post-race examination failed to reveal any abnormalities and that gelding was recovering within normal parameters; jockey said gelding had raced prominently throughout but came under pressure from a circuit out to which it responded initially but gradually weakened back through the field; he added that gelding had jumped the previous two fences cleanly and was not losing ground on the two runners racing directly in front of him, whilst maintaining a good speed; however, having committed to jump the second-last, he slowed appreciably once inside the wings and jammed on in the final strides approaching the obstacle, resulting in gelding losing all momentum and falling; his explanation was noted) (op 20/1)
