ch g Martaline - Viveda (FR) (King's Best)
Took keen hold, held up in rear, slow jump 2nd, headway and went modest fourth after 3 out, hit 2 out, ridden and kept on run-in, never near to challenge (an inquiry was held into running and riding of gelding, which was held up at the rear of the field before being asked for an effort in the straight where he ran on strongly; both jockey and trainer were interviewed and shown recordings of the race and vet reported that a post-race examination of gelding, during routine testing, failed to reveal any abnormalities; jockey said that his instructions had been to drop gelding in and to attempt to relax and settle him as he had run very freely on both of his previous starts; in addition, he said that gelding had jumped novicey when schooling at home and that it was therefore his intention to get gelding jumping; he continued he did not want to pass a horse early and to instead sit slightly detached from field as he would have got lit up if he had attempted to pass a runner in early stages; he therefore did not begin to improve his position until rounding home bend on final circuit and he did not begin to ask for an effort until after jumping the third last; having done so, he stated that gelding had run on past tired horses, before making a slight error at the second last; trainer confirmed instructions and that ride had accorded with them) (op 25/1 tchd 22/1)
