4th
In touch with leaders - shaken up and went third before 2 out - lost ground approaching last - no extra and lost third run-in (jockey said - regarding running and riding - that his instructions were to get a handy position behind leaders; he added that he was happy with his position throughout the race; he further added that having jumped third last hurdle big - mare was outpaced thereafter and he began to ask her for an effort from rounding bend; he went on to explain that mare who had got close to second last - was beginning to tire between second and last hurdles and therefore he felt it prudent on approach to last to keep a slight hold of mare's head to ensure she jumped it safely; after the last he felt that despite asking mare for more of an effort that she had no more to give and obtained best possible placing)(op 3/1)
