John hadn't been well for the past month and while it was just a pity we couldn't have done this sooner, he might have got us over the line today. There are three more in the syndicate. I bought him for 2,000gns as a Godolphin cast-off in Newmarket and while he has had a few issues, he has a fair level of ability and can mix it with the Flat for the summer. That's Gavin's first ride for me and he has caught my eye a lot lately. He used his own head out there today and is value in these (confined jockeys') races.
Denis Gerard Hogan, trainer

In accordance with the provisions of Rule 194(ii), the Raceday Stewards granted permission to Eoin Doyle, trainer of Yosemite Gold to run his charge without the declared tongue tie, as the animal resisted its application
The Raceday Stewards granted permission for Maybe Someday to run in accordance with the provision of Rule 90(v) as positive identification can be made but there are discrepancies in the markings as recorded in the Passport
The Trainer shall have (30) days to update the passport to the satisfaction of an IHRB Veterinary Officer/Assistant
J. Coen, rider of Power Of Words, trained by Gordon Elliott, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount tried to run off the bend passed the stands
P.J. O'Hanlon, rider of Tommy Go Maith, trained by Ian Patrick Donoghue, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount stopped quickly
The Raceday Stewards reviewed an incident between the second last and last hurdle on the first circuit involving Temple City (GB), ridden by M.M. McDonagh, Yosemite Gold (GB), ridden by H. Morgan, and Bhean Saibhre, ridden by C.D Smithers, where it appeared the horses came close together. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the matter, the Raceday Stewards were satisfied that no further action was warranted.
