1 K096  BUCEPHALAS  01/02/2026   404  BUCEPHALAS (K096) when questioned rider stated that the instructions were to settle his mount where comfortable. He said from the outside barrier when caught wide in the early stages his mount settled towards the rear of the field when it was unable to hold a more forward position. He said making the Home Turn he commenced to improve to the outside of a runner but as he attempted to improve between runners he was obliged to check his mount near the 300M. He said as a consequence he elected to shift back to the inside where it obtained clear running passing the 300M. Trainer confirmed the instructions were to find cover - Race 404.

He said after being crossed in the early stages his mount settled further back than intended when a runner did not take up a more forward position as he had anticipated - Race 408.
