Held up in rear, headway to track leaders after 1st, every chance on bit last, upsides winner, confidently ridden and still travelling strongly run-in, ridden final 110yds, edged left towards finish and no extra (jockey said regarding running and riding that his instructions were to drop the gelding in and deliver his run as late as possible, as he is renowned for not finishing his races off strongly. Adding that the gelding had travelled well throughout the race to go upsides the eventual winner at the last flight, and if anything he had asked the gelding for his effort too soon because he found nothing off the bridle and actually lost ground on the winner when asked for maximum effort.)
