Took keen hold - in rear - nudged along after 4 out - ridden briefly after 3 out - some headway after 2 out - never dangerous (inquiry into running and riding; jockey stated his instructions were to drop his mount out as he previously raced keenly; he added that his mount was again very keen and also jumped poorly today and race was not run to suit; jockey stated gelding wears a hood and can be very keen and to have any chance he must be dropped out and settled; he added that given how steadily the race was run he was satisfied with ride; vet reported gelding to be post race normal)(op 10/1)
