Held up in rear - pushed along briefly before 4th - cajoled along 6th - soon outpaced and got behind - awkward jump 2 out - kept on under tender handling approaching last - never on terms (jockey said - regarding running and riding - gelding had a history of being keen both at home and on its only run - his instructions had been to drop the gelding out and get settled - finding a nice rhythm and to obtain the best possible placing. he added that the early pace was solid and this enabled him to switch gelding off in a rearwards position and the gelding had jumped relatively well throughout. he further added that gelding had hung slightly left-handed on the bend entering the back straight and twice had to be niggled along down the back to maintain its position. he further explained that despite being ridden along hands and heels for some distance from entering the back straight bend - gelding had failed to quicken up and improve its position before the gelding - in his opinion - had blown up from approaching the second last hurdle. from this point with the gelding tiring - he was focussed on keeping gelding balanced - particularly after it had landed awkwardly jumping the second last - losing ground and momentum in the process. jockey also added that he felt the gelding had only stayed on one-paced down the straight despite his urgings. post-race examination failed to reveal any abnormalities)(op 14/1 tchd 22/1)
