He added after improving to the outside of that runner, he was then placed close to the heels of the 3rd placegetter for some distance thereafter. When questioned regarding his vigour from near the 200M, rider stated that, in his opinion, his mount was under pressure and laying in and for that reason he did not fully test his mount through that section of the race as he was of the opinion the horse was not responding to his efforts. Trainer stated that if the horse commenced well the option was to take up a more forward position but accepted that on jumping the horse commenced awkwardly and settled back. He added whilst acknowledging the horse had been held up in the early part of the Home Straight he felt there was an opportunity for rider to place more pressure on his mount from near the 200M.
