Held up in rear, headway 3 out, soon nudged along, went third but hung left after 2 out, went second final 110yds, no match for winner, eyecatcher (jockey said that his instructions were to drop in and get gelding to settle, take his time and creep into the race to try to finish in best possible position, having previously made a respiratory noise; he explained that having jumped slowly away in the hope to get gelding to settle and allow gelding a better view of hurdles, he became outpaced in early stages; he added that he felt it prudent to keep a hold of gelding's head after it had started to make a respiratory noise in back straight, a matter in which he reported at scales, in order to get gelding to finish his race; he further stated that gelding had started to hang and jump left-handed from bend turning into home straight and felt that when he was able to get gelding to race without hanging as badly, winner had gotten away from him and that he could not have made up the ground between them; therefore, he believed that gelding had obtained his best possible placing; trainer confirmed instructions given to jockey and added that he was satisfied with ride in the circumstances as he felt that gelding had been hanging badly left-handed; vet said a post-race examination failed to find any abnormalities, however a second examination revealed gelding to have slight heat in his left-fore) (op 5/1 tchd 13/2)
