C O Brien sustained no apparent injury in the incident. When questioned, C O Brien stated that after beginning awkwardly his mount, which was on debut and had led at each of its three barrier trials, was crossed by Shadow Bridge in the early stages. He stated that the gelding raced very greenly when amongst other horses, was inclined to overrace and hang out throughout the middle stages and as a consequence made the home turn awkwardly. C O Brien added that whilst his mount raced more tractably once balanced in the home straight it continued to lay out and in his opinion it will derive benefit from today s race experience. Legion Of Boom Laid out under pressure in the early part of the straight and when being corrected by its rider near the 200m shifted in abruptly. Shadow Bridge On jumping was bumped by Engadine. Sizzleonthebridge A post-race veterinary examination of the gelding, which raced wide and without cover throughout, revealed no abnormality. Paris Lights Hung in under pressure in the straight and proved difficult to ride out. Charging Clear A veterinary examination of the filly, which dislodged a tooth during its preliminary and had a small amount of blood in its mouth on arrival at the barriers, deemed it suitable to race.

2 Race 2 SUEZ C,G&E CLASS 1 HANDICAP (1300M) Nicco Lad hung in over the final 200m. When questioned regarding the gelding racing towards the rear of the field, rider C Brown stated that he was instructed to obtain a position with cover. He added that Nicco Lad began awkwardly and with a genuine tempo in the early stages, from his wide barrier, as he did not want to be caught wide and without cover he shifted his mount in behind runners in the early stages and as a result settled further back than what he had intended. Auchentoman raced wide and without cover throughout the event. Near the 150m was eased to avoid the heels of Reward The Chaser which shifted out. Cartel held up rounding the home turn. After straightening had some difficult improving into a narrow run between Reward The Chaser and Quick Finance which was inclined to lay out. Cartel was ultimately able to secure clear running near the 250m. Quick Finance laid out rounding the home turn and in the straight. Precognition rider A Gibbons advised that it was his intention to race prominently, however, as the start was affected the gelding became mildly fractious and was slow to begin. He added that as a result Precognition settled further back than what had been intended. He further added that approaching the 900m Precognition, when inclined to lay out, did not respond to his efforts to restrain the gelding and as a result his mount became awkwardly positioned close to the heels of Auchentoman. He added as a result he was obliged to check his mount and it shifted out abruptly as a consequence. Trainer Mr C Bermingham was advised that an official warning would be recorded against the racing manners of Precognition. Boca Grande Slow to begin. Approaching the 200m improved onto the heels of Auchentoman and had to be shifted out to continue into clear running. Reward The Chaser rider J Ford reported that his mount was inclined to hang out in the straight and proved somewhat difficult to ride out. Leica Kite from the outside barrier was shifted in behind runners in the early stages. Race 3 ADVANCED PEST CONTROL F&M CLASS 1 HANDICAP (1300M) Cuban Sizzle laid out under pressure in the straight.

3 Race 4 EGROUP SECURITY F&M MAIDEN HANDICAP (1600M) Tippler when questioned rider C Brown stated that inside the 50m, when racing tight to the outside of Galway Girl, his mount was accidently struck across the head by the whip of T Clark, rider of that runner. He said that as a result his mount shifted out abruptly away from Galway Girl and as he was correcting his mount he was unable to place the filly under full pressure over the concluding stages. Dreamfyre hung in rounding the home turn and in the straight and near the 250m became unbalanced when being corrected by its rider. Dreamfyre then continued to hang in and proved difficult to ride out. Stable representative Mr N Perry was advised that an official warning would be recorded on the racing manners of the mare. Drusilla slow to begin. Near the 700m, when attempting to improve between Chrissy Be and Caprice, had to be steadied when disappointed for this position due to Caprice maintaining its position to its outside.

Overraced in the early stages. Chrissy Be was slow to begin, then shortly after was hampered by Dreamfyre which shifted out. Overraced in the early stages. Whitney s Star when questioned regarding the performance, rider R Murray stated that her mount travelled comfortably at the tail of the field throughout the early and middle stages and she was pleased with the manner in which it improved into the race rounding the home turn, however when placed under full pressure in the home straight it failed to quicken and was most disappointing in the manner in which it weakened over the final 200m. R Murray added that the only explanation that she could offer was that Whitney s Star may not have been suited racing second-up over 1870m. A postrace veterinary examination revealed no abnormality. The Stewards will follow up on the post-race condition of the mare with trainer W Austin.

When questioned regarding the disappointing performance rider J Ford stated that he was able to obtain a position with cover behind the leaders, and although his mount was inclined to overrace in the early stages it travelled more comfortably after the 1000m. He stated, however, that his mount was under pressure to maintain its position from as far out as the 600m and it was most disappointing in its failure to respond to his riding from that point. A post-race veterinary examination of the gelding revealed it to have sustained a minor abrasion to the near-hind heel and to have lost its near-hind plate. California Longbow laid in under pressure in the early part of the home straight and had some difficulty obtaining clear running near the 300m. Helsun slow to begin. Mangione slow to begin.
