5th
Towards rear - going okay but plenty to do 2f out - shaken up and hung left over 1f out - ran on inside final furlong - eyecatcher (inquiry into running and riding; jockey said that his instructions were to settle in rear and take his time as gelding has a tendency to run freely before coming with a late challenge between runners; jockey added that gelding ran too freely and hung left-handed in home straight and - as the result of a torrid ride - he struggled to correct gelding and ride as vigorously as he would have liked due to fatigue; he further added that he would have liked to have shown initiative and been closer to the speed in a muddling run race but was unwilling to contravene trainer's instructions; his explanation was noted)(tchd 50/1)
4 G AVG Olly Murphy 133 lbs 40/1 0.2
6th
Held up in rear - going okay but plenty to do 2f out - shaken up over 1f out - no impression inside final furlong (inquiry into running and riding; jockey said that her instructions were to drop gelding out - ride him hands and heels and look to mount her challenge late up centre of course to obtain best possible placing; she added that gelding had been unsuited by a muddling tempo and that she had expected the field to swing wide off home bend - which would provide her with an opportunity to improve her position between runners and ride to instructions; however - when runners did not fan off the turn and field in fact migrated left-handed back towards far rail - she was caught in two minds; trainer confirmed instructions and agreed that race was not run to suit gelding; their explanations were noted)(op 17/2)
7 G AVG Jim Goldie 120 lbs 10/1 1.75

Midfield - weakened from over 1f out(op 16/1)
