Held up in rear - shaken up approaching last - never near to challenge (jockey said - regarding running and riding - his instructions were to get gelding settled at the rear of the field - ride a nice race and get him to finish; jockey added that gelding had previously run well at Sedgefield when ridden prominently but - as he is inclined to race freely and having had almost twelve months off - he had been instructed to ride with more restraint on this stiffer track; he further added that the gelding was again quite free in the early stages having been 'set alight' by Officer Drivel - which was also racing freely alongside him and - having jumped the penultimate flight gelding came off the bridle and finished one-paced; trainer confirmed these instructions adding that the gelding has had breathing problems - hence the wind operation - so had told jockey to hold onto the horse for as long as possible and added that he was satisfied with the ride)(op 33/1) More
