5th
Held up in rear - outpaced 3 out - soon hung left - tenderly handled from 2 out - switched left and stayed on run-in - never near to challenge (jockey said - regarding running and riding - that his instructions were to drop gelding in - do his best and make his effort turning into home straight; he felt that gelding had emptied momentarily having jumped fourth last hurdle - adding that having jumped 3 out - gelding stayed on in his opinion past tired horses before meeting trouble in running when another runner jumped across his path at last hurdle - causing him to switch his running line and therefore felt he had obtained best possible placing)(op 4/1 tchd 10/3)
