Chased leading group, driven and outpaced over 3f out, good headway over 1f out, led inside final furlong, soon clear, eased near finish (op 11/4 tchd 2/1)
In touch on inside, steady headway halfway, effort and shaken up over 1f out, outpaced final furlong, better for race (jockey said regarding running and riding that his instructions were to see how gelding jumped and not to rush him forward in the early stages but position him where he was comfortable. He added that entering the home straight he asked Shamshon to quicken when a clear run presented itself, however its finishing effort was only shortlived and the gelding had no more to give inside the final half furlong. The trainers representative stated that he was unaware of the riding instructions given to Mr Murphy and was unable to comment upon whether the rider had complied with the instructions given, although the trainers representative did state that he was satisfied with the manner in which gelding had been ridden on this occasion) (tchd 9/1 and 11/1)
