Go As You Please  Tightened for room at the start. Inquiry re performance. Rider J. Stephens said after being fractious in the barriers and slow to begin, the gelding failed to muster early speed and settled further back than anticipated and as a result was reluctant to race to the inside of other runners. He added, in his opinion, the gelding may have come to the end of its preparation. Trainer R.

Vale stated the gelding had only previously backed up within a week once in its racing career and had also proved disappointing on that occasion.
