In rear, headway 7th, modest 4th 3 out, kept on steadily run-in (jockey said, regarding running and riding, that his orders were to drop in, get the gelding settled and ride the race from there, it ran freely early due to the slow pace, but jumped quite economically for the majority of the race before making minor mistakes at the fourth and third last, approaching the home turn he angled wider on the track looking for better ground but felt in the home straight that it was struggling in the conditions, he elected to coax it and squeeze along under hands and heels, in order to help if through the ground; vet said gelding was found to be coughing at the trot.)
In rear, behind and reminders 6th, soon tailed off, pulled up before 3 out (trainer said gelding was unsuited by the soft (heavy in places) ground) (op 40/1)
In rear, some, jumped right, headway 6th, lost place before 3 out, soon behind, tailed off when blundered 2 out, pulled up before last (trainer said, regarding running, that the mare lost a shoe at the 2nd and jumped right thereafter)
