Held up last trio, well behind after 5th, still last of main group 3 out, steady progress before next, ran on to take 2nd flat, hopeless task (jockey said, regarding the apparent tender ride, his orders were to hold up gelding on outer in better ground and make his move after the first circuit, but he was unable to do so because of the quick early pace, adding that he received some interference when trying to make a move; trainer confirmed orders, adding that a more experienced rider may have been able to keep the gelding closer to the pace) (op 3-1 tchd 9-2 in a place)
Pulled hard early, rider not in harmony with horse, led 3rd to 4th, slow jump 6th and lost place, rallied gamely before 2 out, stayed on flat (op 20-1 tchd 33-1 in a place)
