6th
Held up in rear - some headway into midfield but not clear run after 2 out - shaken up after last - no chance but kept on final 110yds (inquiry was held into running and riding; jockey said that his instructions were to drop in with focus of giving gelding time and getting into a rhythm in order to build his confidence throughout race; he continued that gelding has a habit of racing keenly and that he was running through his hands for the majority of the first circuit before Cairo King jumped across him at fourth hurdle - which had the effect of lighting gelding up - a fact he had reported at scales; thereafter his jumping worsened and rider added that on approach to second last - having begun to ask gelding for some effort - gelding made a slight noise - a fact he again reported at scales - resulting in him focusing on keeping the bit up in gelding's mouth to enable him to finish the race; rider added that once he had extricated himself from the aforementioned pocket - he was able to ride gelding through to the line - giving him a couple of flicks after the last - with gelding finishing race at the one pace - neither gaining nor losing any ground on Shibuya Song which he had followed up the straight; trainer confirmed instructions and was satisfied that ride accorded with those instructions; their explanations were noted)(op 16/1 tchd 22/1)
