8th 9 Whatwouldyouknow (IRE) 9 G Poor Nigel Tinkler 131 lbs 10/1 0.3 Held up in rear - pushed along over 2f out - kept on inside final furlong - never near to challenge (An enquiry was held into the running and riding of the gelding - which after breaking on terms with the field - was restrained and allowed to drift back to settle at the rear of the field - before being asked for an effort approximately 2 1/2f out - whereupon it stayed on and made ground under considerate handling in the home straight to finish 8th of 11 runners - beaten by 8 1/4l; rider stated his instructions were to jump out from the wide draw in stall 8 and find cover to give gelding a chance to find his feet and travel; jockey said that after receiving slight pressure from both sides upon leaving the stalls - he quickly formed the view that to avoid being trapped deep going into the first bend - he steadied his mount to the rear of the field - finding a position closer to the rail to be his best option; he added the tempo of the race didn't play to the geldings strengths and consequently he was trying to mount a challenge from an unpromising position after leaving the back straight; he further added that the gelding was initially tapped for toe when the pace increased passing the 3f marker - before gradually being able to improve his position down the home straight - until being checked in his run near the 1/2f marker by a weakening rival - which had lugged quickly right-handed into his path; jockey further indicated that the gelding may benefit from being stepped back up in trip and could also be seen to better effect by settling more prominently when receiving a more favourable stall)(tchd 9/1)
