Apprentice N Jolly who was indisposed was replaced by I Coombes (Shecan), G Lynch (Mock Sovereign) and A Gillett (Go Golly).

RACE: 1 Just Wilson (T Hill) which jumped awkwardly returned to scale minus the off fore plate. Piquet’s Revenge (I Coombes) was slowly away. Vibrant And Free (L Karklis) which was fractious in the barriers raced wide throughout. Near the 550 metres Daybreak Edition (B Appo) made contact with the running rail. On the home turn Easter Maila (L Isherwood) shifted out forcing Audasatai (P Gesler), Sendette (R Barone) and Vibrant And Free wider on the track. Daybreak Edition was inclined to race ungenerously over the concluding stages when placed under pressure. Sendette drifted in over the concluding stages. Near the 50 metres Hazy Jet (L Roberts) was steadied when Just Wilson shifted out. Surgeon General (M Aspinall) which hung out throughout shifted out near the 50 metres resulting in Eire Pindi (A Erhart) having to be eased. When questioned about the disappointing performance of Eire Pindi jockey A Erhart stated that he could not offer any excuse for the filly as she had a good run throughout. Time off 4.14 pm.

Approaching the 800 metres Sir Raimondo got it’s head up when being steadied. Approaching the home turn Hi Dad was held up for clear running.
