Chasing debut last January didn't go to plan; very disappointing 6-4 favourite when next seen in October and again soundly beaten in November latest when he tried nearly 2m4f, both over hurdles; hooded last eight starts (won here on first of those) but not today.

His chasing debut in January didn't go to plan and, following a break, he was a very disappointing favourite when switched back to hurdling last month; not an easy horse to weigh up at present but too well handicapped to ignore.

jumped right on occasions, prominent, jumped right and dropped to rear 1st, pushed along before 3 out, soon weakened (jockey said, regarding the running and riding, that the trainer had left the way the gelding should be ridden to him. he added that the gelding normally races keenly and he realised quite early on in the race that the gelding, was not travelling as well as he expected and had changed legs several times. he further added that he had considered that this was because the gelding was unsuited by the good to firm, good in places going, having had good form on Soft ground, which he had reported at scales on weighing in. he further added that that he had asked the gelding for an effort around the final bend but the gelding had failed to pick up and had again changed legs. the trainer confirmed that the way the horse was to be ridden was left to the rider as he had schooled and ridden the gelding in his work at home and added that he was satisfied with the ride given. the trainer further added that the gelding had been difficult to train having suffered an injury following its previous run at this course in january. trainer said gelding would prefer a softer surface than today's good to firm, good in places)
