Permission was given for Alondra (GB) to wear a red hood to post.

Jojo Rabbit (GB), drawn 7, anticipated the start and accelerated the gate at the same moment as the race had been started.

Being satisfied that it was not caused through a faulty action of the starting stalls, no further action was taken.

An enquiry was held to consider the placings in this race after two incidents of interference turning into the home straight and from approximately 1 furlong out, involving the winner, Hint Of Humour (GB), ridden by William Carson, Invincible Crown (IRE), placed second, ridden by James Sullivan, Alondra (GB), placed fourth, ridden by Jason Watson and Storm Call (IRE), unplaced, ridden by Billy Garritty.

The Stewards considered that the interference had improved Hint Of Humour (GB)’s placing as despite Alondra (GB) being beaten approximately 1½ lengths, the filly was travelling strongly into the home straight before being turned sideways when severely hampered by HINT OF HUMOR shifting right into its path, resulting in a significant loss of both ground and momentum, which was then further compounded in the home straight, as Watson had been unable to fully ride Alondra (GB) out for much of the final furlong, due to repeatedly having his ground taken by Hint Of Humour (GB) drifting right off a true line.

The Stewards revised the placings as follows: First - Invincible Crown (IRE); Second- J Street (GB); Third - Alondra (GB); Fourth - Hint Of Humour (GB).

In the first incident, Carson was suspended for 9 days for careless riding as he maneuvered his mount right-handed off the home bend, when insufficiently clear of Alondra (GB), severely hampering that runner, causing it to give a hefty bump to Storm Call (IRE), which was hampered and in turn gave a significant bump to Invincible Crown (IRE), which became unbalanced and was carried wider off its intended line.

In the second incident, Carson was suspended for 3 days for careless riding as he allowed his mount to hang persistently right-handed without sufficient correction, impeding Alondra (GB) on several occasions and preventing Watson from being able to ride out fully to the line.

Following the race, Daniel Muscutt reported that Blazes Boylan (FR), unplaced, hung left-handed; and Kieran O’Neill reported that Phoenix Beach (IRE), placed fifth, hung right-handed.
