7th
Midfield - outpaced 5th - reminder 3 out - tenderly handled from 2 out - kept on approaching last - never on terms (inquiry held into running and riding; jockey said his instructions were to drop in towards rear with the intention of finishing strongly; having jumped well over first few hurdles - gelding was flat out as field progressed down the hill and into back straight - unable to make any ground on those in front; having jumped the third last he used his whip on one occasion and gelding began to hang right-handed and continued to do so up home straight; when questioned on his inactivity from turning in - he said this was down to gelding hanging; trainer's rep was unaware of the instructions which had been given by the trainer over the phone and had no further opinion to offer; jockey said he had spoken to trainer over the phone after the race and trainer was satisfied with ride - adding that the focus was on finishing his race strongly but having gone through gelding's previous runs with rider - there appeared to be little difference in tactics and/or riding - who despite already running the required three times over hurdles as stated in paragraph 13 of the 'Weights and Handicapping Code' - had not been allocated a handicap mark)(op 200/1)
