2nd
In rear - steady headway from 5th - still plenty to do when left in modest third 3 out - went second 2 out - stayed on approaching last - too much to do (inquiry held into running and riding; jockey said that his instructions were to drop in and settle - get jumping to finish his race as gelding previously made the running and failed to get home; having jumped the 1st - he felt the front runners had gone too quick and felt it prudent not to chase the strong pace; from after 2nd in back straight he began to niggle and squeeze along having lost ground after being slightly inconvenienced by Bold Jury running out - and being cautious to the fact they were still a long way from home; turning into home straight he asked for more of an effort - passing tiring horses; he felt that after Beau Quali had fallen at 3rd last - it had left the winner alone and idling in front - which allowed his gelding to gain more lengths. adding that gelding had achieved best possible placing' he reported to trainer that gelding may benefit from a step up in trip; trainers' rep was satisfied with ride; explanations were noted)(tchd 28/1)
