Led - pushed along over 2f out - ridden over 1f out - faced challenge inside final furlong - no extra and headed towards finish (trainer was asked to explain why he was running the gelding here on Soft - Heavy in places going - having reported that the gelding was unsuited by Soft going at Nottingham on 14 October 2020 and would prefer a faster surface. Trainer's rep explained that in his opinion - the going was less holding here at Redcar - and with a lack of opportunities at this stage in the season - they were happy for the gelding to take it's chance)
