In rear, pushed along halfway, ran on towards finish, not reach leaders (jockey said, regarding running and riding, his instructions on gelding, which is a confirmed hold-up horse, were to jump gelding out and let him find his stride and travel comfortably. jockey added that after jumping moderately, gelding had then failed to muster any speed through the early stages. he added that after taking a trail behind the free-running The Night Watch when the early tempo was fast, gelding was readily outpaced and he elected to keep gelding balanced. jockey further added that he placed gelding under pressure near the 3f marker, and gelding had made up good ground in the home straight, giving him the impression, that gelding might be suited by a step up in trip to 6f, where he can find his feet and travel for longer. jockey also indicated that gelding had responded positively to the removal of the tongue-strap on this occasion, and his recommendation to the trainer would be to continue with that gear being dispensed) (op 14/1 tchd 16/1)
Pulled hard, held up in midfield, headway over 1f out, ridden inside final furlong, weakened final 110yds (jockey said gelding ran too freely) (tchd 28/1)
