Slowly into stride, midfield, pushed along and headway 2f out, went second and ridden over 1f out, kept on well inside final furlong, led towards finish (op 4/1)
Sweating, midfield, headway under 3f out, close up but short of room from over 2f out, ridden when not clear run over 1f out, kept on and went third inside final 110yds, always held (jockey said gelding was denied a clear run approx 2f out) (op 15/8 tchd 10/3)
Swerved left start, soon in touch with leaders, tracked leaders 5f out, made strong challenge when ridden from over 2f out, every chance over 1f out, kept on but no extra final 110yds (tchd 6/1)
Slowly into stride, behind, ridden 3f out, no impression until kept on strongly inside final furlong, nearest finish (An enquiry was held into the running and riding of the gelding which was held up in rear, before running on in the closing stages to finish seventh of ten, beaten by 3 ¾ lengths. The rider stated that his instructions were to ride the gelding as he found it, bearing in mind that it had run too freely in the past. Jockey said that he was happy to drop his mount in as he felt that the other runners had gone off too quickly and that the gelding had hung right-handed at various stages throughout the race, a fact which he had reported at scales. Jockey further added that the gelding had an awkward head carriage and, in his opinion, would be suited by running over a longer trip and a more galloping track.) (op 14/1 tchd 16/1)
