6th 6 Star Zinc (IRE) 5 G Poor
Rebecca Menzies 132 lbs 12/1 1 Steadied start - took keen hold - held up in rear - ran on inside final furlong - never near to challenge (jockey said - regarding running and riding - her instructions were to remove blind as late as possible in order to get gelding to jump better - to sit mid-division with cover as he can run keen and to ride her race from there; she explained that gelding jumped slowly and - from a wide draw - she elected to drop in at rear of field and try to get him to settle but - as pace slowed down once in back straight - he got strong and towed her to the outside of runners so that she was running wider and further back than she wanted; she added that going round final bend she had limited options with Liberty Mountain not travelling in front of her and Showtime Mahomes on her inside - so she had to wait and hope for a clear run once in the straight; conscious that gelding runs better coming through horses - she wanted to come up inner but Showtime Mahomes got first run on her and she found herself close on the heels of Touchwood so - again - had to delay her challenge; she acknowledged that gelding had finished the race well from an unpromising position after several things hadn't gone right in the run but felt gelding was giving his full running under a hands and heels drive in home straight - having taken a while to find his stride and she was also conscious of running onto the heels of leaders in concluding stages when making good ground; she confirmed that she had suggested to trainer that Wolverhampton was too sharp and had recommended that gelding would be better suited to a more galloping track with a longer straight)(op 10/1)
