Held up in last - outpaced on turn over 1f out - headway inside final furlong - went third post (trainer's rep was asked prior to race why he was running gelding on going described as good having reported that gelding would prefer a slower surface following his run at Doncaster on 29 March 2025 on ground described as good to soft - good in places; he explained that having received feedback from various riders over previous two days that going was riding on the easier side of good - the were happy to take the chance on this occasion)(op 4/1)
