Prominent, lost ground before 8th, in touch with leaders before 3 out, weakened before last (inquiry into running and riding; jockey explained that his priority was to sit prominently and to race with cover as his mount has a tendency to race keenly; he added that as the pace was provided by Gowel Road who raced to the inside he elected to remain behind this runner resulting in him taking his line; he fiuther added gelding handles testing conditions well in addition to staying further, so he was not concerned about racing on this more worn line; trainer's rep had no explanation for the poor form shown) (op 6/4)
