4th
Towards rear - not fluent 3rd - outpaced after 3 out - never dangerous (jockey said - regarding running and riding - that his instructions were to get gelding settled - in a good jumping rhythm and to do his best; when he asked his mount for an effort down back straight - he felt gelding initially quickened from second last hurdle before weakening up the hill approaching last hurdle and staying on at one pace - making no ground on front runners and in his opinion obtained best possible placing; he added that gelding may have been unsuited by the going on this occasion - which was officially described as heavy - soft in places and in his opinion was particularly testing)(op 8/1)
