12th
Midfield - headway 7th - weakened after 3 out (inquiry held into running and riding; jockey stated his instructions were to ride gelding handy and - as he doesn't like being crowded - give him space towards the outside of field and to achieve his best possible placing; he explained that he was able to settle mid-division - jumping and travelling well off a moderate pace until approaching final bend when the pace increased and he was unable to quicken with the other runners; he was losing ground so he elected to get gelding home with a hands and heels ride through to line; trainer said he was satisfied with ride; he has been schooling well at home and the only explanation he could offer was that ideally gelding would appreciate a more truly run race)(op 40/1)
