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)(op 13/2)
