5th
Hung left soon after start - towards rear - headway 5th - nudged along and outpaced from 3 out (jockey said - regarding the running and riding - his instructions were to obtain a handy position and ride his race from there however he was unable to do so as the gelding was reluctant to jump off at the start - hanging left-handed surrendering his early position causing him to sit further back in the field than ideal. he explained that he had begun to improve his position leaving the back straight but felt the gelding was flat out before staying on at the one paced under hands and heels up the straight with the gelding having no more to give. the trainer was interviewed via telephone - confirmed the instructions given and was happy with the ride. he also added that in his opinion the gelding ran flat having previously run at huntingdon 13 days ago on ground that was riding tacky and would likely be given a break following this run)(op 11/4)
