towards rear, not fluent and jockey lost iron briefly 3 out, headway 2 out, went fourth before last where not fluent, kept on (An inquiry was held into the running and riding of gelding, jockey stated that his instructions were to sit midfield and to try and get the gelding jumping, having felt he lost his confidence after failing in his previous run at Ascot, adding that he had formed this opinion having schooled the gelding at home, he reported that he made a mistake at the third last fence, causing him to lose his left iron, and having regained his stirrup found himself stuck to the inside, leaving him unable to improve his position until after the second last fence, he continued to add he felt in top gear throughout the race and that the gelding's jumping had suffered late on as a result, leading him to jumping the last fence slowly, he finished by stating that when taking all of the above into account, he felt that his hands and heels riding up the straight led to him obtaining the best possible placing)
