Correct weight was delayed when trainer S. Barling and rider H. English approached stewards to request that IMPLACABLE be declared a non runner. After taking evidence from the starter and viewing the film, stewards established that IMPLACABLE became fractious in the barriers prior to the start being effected and as a result  lost significant ground. Stewards were satisfied that if not for the horse’s actions it was otherwise afforded a fair start and therefore declared the horse a runner and semaphored correct weight.

COSTA BLANCA – Raced wide without cover.
 
LOTS OF PROMISE – Jockey R. Mangan pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding, in that she allowed her mount to shift in near the 700m when not sufficiently clear of CHARWAY, forcing that mare in on to  ALLEGRO VITA, which when tightened for room was forced in on to UNDERTHEMISTLETOE, which had to be checked and lose significant ground. In this incident, SINGLE LASS was also steadied when placed in restricted room and  had to be checked to avoid the heels of UNDERTHEMISTLETOE.  Jockey Mangan was suspended from riding in races for a period of 16 days, to commence at midnight, 9 September and to expire at midnight, 25 September.   Laid in under pressure in the home straight.

Stewards conceded GENERAL ASSAULT was weakening at this stage.  Jockey Fancourt was suspended from riding in races for a period of 7 days, to commence at midnight, 16 September and to expire at midnight, 23 September.
