br g Saint Preuil (FR) - Emeraude Du Moulin (FR) (Djarvis)
Held up, not fluent 4th, ridden and outpaced after 4 out, stayed on from last, not trouble leaders (jockey said, regarding the apparent tender ride, his orders were to jump off midfield to let gelding settle and get jumping, adding that there was a fast early pace so gelding was "flat to the boards" and was making mistakes, and when he asked gelding to make up ground round final bend it just stayed on past beaten horses; trainer added that gelding was highly strung, so he ordered jockey not to hit it behind the saddle but to ride as vigorously as possible using hands and heels)
