He said his mount jumped well throughout, came off the bridle before getting a second wind and ran on one paced in the closing stages to pass tired horses. He also stated that he lost some ground by avoiding a faller at the second last hurdle.
John Patrick Ryan, confirmed the instructions given and expressed his satisfaction with the ride. He stated that his charge was a very limited filly that had disappointed in the past.
