In rear, some headway on inner from 2f out, ridden and kept on inside final furlong (jockey said, regarding running and riding, his instructions were to sit mid-division and get gelding to finish as best as he could; he explained that having been slow to break, he had missed the opportunity to be more handy so dropped to the rail and settled gelding at the rear, as the early pace was strong and mindful that gelding has had respiratory issues previously; he said that he did not want to bustle gelding up and was pleased with the way he settled and travelled going into final bend; it had been his intention to make a move at this point, following eventual winner into the race, but he was prevented from doing so as Sea In The Dark came upsides and put him in a pocket; he added that he was denied a clear run again turning into home straight, a fact which he reported at scales, where he had originally planned to go for a run up the inside rail but after committing to switch around Harbour Vision, that runner had drifted off the rail in front of him. this left him with what he thought was a reducing gap between Harbour Vision which was continuing to edge right-handed and a retreating Reidh, which was why he appeared to hesitate before asking gelding to fully commit for his run approaching final furlong from which point gelding found the line well) (op 50/1)
