Boost Your Acca-Fenwa With BetUK Handicap
Took keen hold - pressed leader - lost second over 1f out - weakened and eased inside final furlong (jockey said gelding hung badly right-handed inside final furlong - thereby meaning he was unable to ride out as he wished - causing him to lose fourth place; he felt it prudent to ease gelding as he thought something was amiss)
