Pontefract bends are OK for Ingleby Hollow, but not Beverley's

The trainer's right in what he was saying about the Beverley run and the commentator mentioned in running that the horse was seemed to be steering a wide berth, or words to that effect. The jockey was constantly trying to stop the horse hanging left off the turns and was hitting it down the shoulder in order to do so but it was still drifting away from the bends.

He gave up trying to ride any sort of finish about 2f out when he put the whip down and totally eased it inside the final furlong, but that's an argument for the merits of riding to the line, because no way was the winner nor Dew Pond better than Ingleby Hollow than the the distances they were clear of it at Beverley if it had been ridden out.

The horse in the main ran basically the same race at both courses up to the 3f pole, when up with the pace in 2nd or sharing the lead but whereas hanging left on a right-handed course at Beverley is a problem, it isn't really on a left-handed one like Ponte and the jockey was able to ride his finish all the way to the line. His job was made easier too when switching his whip into his right hand late on and having the rail to his left to keep it straight, rather than fresh air to the left at Beverley.

And if not then usually it's because it's not always a like for like comparison.
