Waited with towards rear, headway from 4 out to chase leaders in 4th after 4 out, lost place before next, pushed along in 5th after 2 out and kept on from last without threatening principals (jockey said, regarding running and riding, that his orders were not to use the whip, the gelding ran free and it was hard to get it settled and it did too much early on, he kept it together up the straight, to ensure he finished third, as he couldn't compete with the first two and, in his view, obtained the best possible placing, he accepted that he is able to ride stronger but there was no point on this occasion as it wouldn't have finished any closer, it was green and he kept it on the outside so that it could see the hurdles; trainer subsequently reported that the vet found the gelding to be lame on Jan 6.)
