Taken down early, towards rear, switched right over 2f out, headway on outer but edged left over 1f out, kept on but lost third towards finish (op 10/1 tchd 11/1)
Dwelt start, in touch with leaders, switched to near side after 1f, soon lost ground and dropped to rear, switched to far side and raced in last after 4f, struggling over 2f out, never dangerous (jockey said, regarding running and riding, that having walked track with trainer prior to racing, his instructions were to go in search of what was, in their opinion, the quicker ground on far rail from 1m 4f to 6f marker, before tracking back to rejoin the field on inside running rail; jockey added that he felt he was able to ride to instructions but gelding lost a shoe approximately 6f out and hung left-handed thereafter; he further added that having returned to group of runners he felt gelding had no more to give and rode gelding under hands and heels to line) (op 5/1)
