Didn't jump with fluency, chased leaders, lost ground 4th, headway and prominent 4 out, lost ground and nudged along 3 out, reminders after 2 out, mistake last, went second and reminder run-in, ran on, did well in the circumstances, eyecatcher (stewards inquiry into the running and riding; jockey said gelding is a big, weak type who is not a natural at his obstacles so his orders were to give gelding room and to go forward into a prominent position in order to give him sight of his hurdles; he added that they went a good gallop in the testing conditions and he was off the bridle from a long way out, so he had to hold gelding together in the home straight where his jumping deteriorated in order to get the gelding home; jockey added that once the jumping was over, he was able to pass tiring horses which had been put under pressure from much further out; trainer confirmed the instructions and was satisfied with the ride, confirming that the gelding is a poor jumper despite intensive schooling at home; trainer added that he was pleased with the way the gelding finished his race and he may consider running him over a longer trip in future; their explanations were noted) (op 11/1)
