Held up in rear, ran on over 1f out, nearest finish (jockey said, regarding the running and riding that that her instructions were to sit where the gelding was comfortable and make the best of her way home. She added that the colt had been slowly into its stride, had showed signs of rustiness after his long absence and that the pace of the race was muddly and had developed into a sprint. She further added that the colt was initially outpaced when the tempo increased, before staying on in the latter stages despite being denied a clear run; trainer confirmed the instructions and stated that he was satisfied with the ride that Doyle gave ) (op 12-1 tchd 10-1)
