| 4th | 5 | Rock On Harry (IRE) | 7 G | AVG | Tom Lacey | 156 lbs | 9/2 | 2.5 | Took keen hold - midfield - headway 3 out - soon went fourth - ridden after 2 out - kept on until no extra from last (jockey said gelding wears a hood and has a history of being keen - so his instructions were to get gelding settled and ensure he was finding the line at the end of the race - jockey added that gelding ran too freely through the first few hurdles and never entirely relaxed throughout; however he jumped relatively well until home straight and was able to improve his mid-race position to be racing the leaders rounding the home bend; jockey added gelding guessed the third-last hurdle and was untidy - causing gelding to land flat losing ground and momentum in the process; jockey added gelding had been outpaced and failed to respond to his firm hands-and-heels urgings on approach to second-last - prompting him to keep a good hold of horse's head in order to see a better stride at the final two hurdles; however gelding reached for second-last hurdle - before getting in tight to last hurdle and thereafter failed to finish his race off when held on the run-in - which was noted; vet said a post-race examination failed to reveal any abnormalities)(op 4/1 tchd 7/2) | ||
