Permission was given for Grandlad (IRE) to be mounted in the chute and to go early to post; and for Spoof (GB) to go early to post.

The Starter reported that Baldomero (IRE) was the subject of a third criteria failure.

Michael Appleby was informed that the gelding could not run until the day after passing a stalls test.

The Starter reported that Frederick Larson, the rider of Sanat (IRE), had originally entered the wrong stall.

Being satisfied that this was due to the gelding rushing forward and entering the incorrect stall no further action was taken.

Approximately 1/2 a furlong out, Burning Cash (IRE), unplaced, took a false step and shifted slightly left-handed moving Sanat (IRE), unplaced, marginally off its intended line giving a bump to Mon Na Slieve (IRE), unplaced, which in turn gave a bump to Ventura Express (GB), unplaced, which had to take a check off the heels of Hiya Maite (GB), unplaced, but after viewing a recording of the incident, it was found that no riding offence was involved.

Approaching 1/2 a furlong out, Equity Law (GB), placed fifth, edged right-handed at the same time as Brave Nation (IRE), placed fourth, attempted a tight but narrow run to his inside of Equity Law (GB) causing that gelding to move further right-handed than anticipated and subsequently moving Spoof (GB), unplaced, off its intended line and Grandlad (IRE), unplaced, also off its intended line, but after viewing a recording of the incident, it was found that no riding offence was involved and that it had not improved the placing of either Equity Law (GB) or Brave Nation (IRE).

The winner, Baldomero (IRE), appeared to show improved form compared with its previous run at Haydock Park on 31 May 2025 where the gelding finished twelfth of sixteen runners, beaten by 7 1/2 lengths.

It was noted that the representative of Michael Appleby could offer no explanation for Baldomero (IRE)’s improved form on this occasion.

The gelding was routine tested.

Following the race, Frederick Larson reported that Sanat (IRE), unplaced, suffered interference approximately 2 furlongs out and Mark Winn reported that Burning Cash (IRE), unplaced, was restless in the stalls and slowly away as a result.

Callum Shepherd reported that Brave Nation (IRE), placed fourth, was denied a clear run approaching the final furlong.
