15th
Took keen hold early - in touch with leaders - weakened under 2f out (trainer's rep said - regarding the poor form shown - that gelding was unsuited by the good to firm - good in places going on the occasion and would prefer a slower surface - adding that gelding may have also been unsuited by the tight nature of the track at Chester; vet had nothing to report)(op 17/2)
