Jockey explained that he was happy with his position throughout the race - helping to set an even tempo - but did indicate that the mare's jumping was not as slick as is customary on occasions. Jockey added that when the mare came under pressure there was a very limited response to his urgings and ultimately he was very disappointed in the mare's failure to finish the race off. Trainer - when interviewed via telephone - had no explanation for the mare's performance - other than indicating that despite the mare having form on soft ground when contesting weaker races in Ireland - she concluded that perhaps the mare would appreciate less testing conditions now racing in a higher grade; vet examined the mare during routine testing and had nothing to report; trainer reported that a post-race endoscopic examination of the mare revealed no adverse findings)(op Evens)
