4th
Held up in rear - headway and went modest third before 3 out - ridden and wandered around after 2 out - lost third and no extra approaching last (jockey said - regarding running and riding - his instructions were to drop in last as gelding can be keen; he added that he was unable to get his mount to go any quicker at any stage and the gelding never travelled due to the frenetic pace of the race; he further added that he had asked his mount for an effort after the fourth last but the gelding was one-paced)(op 16/5 tchd 10/3)
