9th 8 Gran Descans (GB) 3 C Elite Harry Charlton 129 lbs 5/2 - Always behind (inquiry held into running and riding; jockey explained that he was advised colt was a big and raw type - as such he was instructed to try and get placed midfield but due to wide draw he would probably get caught wide; he added that he wanted to get closer to rail in early stages but horses drawn on his inside had continued to improve up his inside leaving him racing wide which he accepted; he stated that in home straight he had stayed out wide for his run but felt that his runner was one paced and that other runners had quickened away from him; he further added that 1 1/2f out he had to steady off Newton Duke and was only staying on at best and had obtained best possible placing; trainer's rep stated that he was satisfied withride given to colt under the circumstances)(op 9/2 tchd 9/4)
