As D Wheeler was indisposed, N Day was substituted as the rider of HAIL ROCKET.

Leaving the 100m CABERNET ROAD was hampered when tightened for room between WHAT A MESS and BOLDON. Whilst it was established that WHAT A MESS had shifted in slightly, A Morrison, the rider of BOLDON, was severely reprimanded for allowing his mount to shift out significantly whilst being ridden with the whip.

Trainer R Heathcote was also at a loss to explain ROBBITE’s performance, stating that the stable had preferred the gelding’s chances over its stablemate CHENAR. Mr Heathcote indicated that he intended to have blood tests performed on ROBBITE and would advise stewards of the results.
