Blind removed late and stumbled start, tracked leader, ridden along well over 2f out, soon driven and kept on same pace approaching final furlong (stewards held an enquiry to consider why the jockey had been slow to remove the blindfold, resulting in the gelding being slow to start; jockey said the gelding dived forwards when anticipating the start which resulted in him failing to grasp the blindfold at the first attempt but was successful on the second attempt) (tchd 6/1)
Slowly into stride and lost several lengths start, always behind (jockey said the horse was reluctant to race and lost considerable ground as a result) (op 9/4)
