Midfield - going okay but waiting for room over 2f out - pushed along over 1f out - made no impression (stewards inquired into running and riding of gelding which travelled well in mid-division but was tenderly ridden turning for home and in early part of home straight; jockey stated his instructions were to achieve his best possible placing and to try to get gelding to settle as he had raced too freely on his previous run; he further explained that the early pace of race was a strong one and gelding had settled and travelled well as a result but - rounding the final bend - he found himself caught on rail and lost ground when leaders kicked for home; in explaining his ride in home straight he said that gelding had failed to pick up when asked and had flattened out - making no in-roads on leaders in closing stages which led him to suggest that with gelding settling better on this occasion - it might benefit from a step back up in trip)(tchd 80/1)

Reared start and slowly away - switched sharply left soon after start - raced in last - pushed along and struggling over 2f out - ridden and some headway from over 1f out - short of room inside final furlong - never on terms (jockey said gelding was slowly away and that gelding was denied a clear run in the final 110yds)(op 13/2)
