Permission was given for Maximising (IRE) and The Resdev Scholar (IRE) to wear a red hood to post.
Venetian Lion (GB) wore earplugs which were removed at the start.
Leaving the stalls, Return To Unit (GB), placed second, jumped awkwardly and shifted right-handed, at the same time as Rhoscolyn (GB), unplaced, jumped left-handed, resulting in Darkness (FR), unplaced, and Milteye (GB), unplaced, losing their early positions when tightened for room, 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 Return To Unit (GB).
An enquiry was held to consider interference approaching the final furlong, involving Return To Unit (GB), placed second, ridden by Jack Mitchell, the winner, Maximising (IRE), ridden by David Egan, and The Resdev Scholar (IRE), unplaced, ridden by David Allan.
The interference was found to be accidental as Return To Unit (GB) had changed leads before shifting quickly left-handed, despite Mitchell’s efforts to correct the gelding, which tightened Maximising (IRE) for room and in turn caused Allan to check The Resdev Scholar (IRE) on the rail.
An enquiry was held to consider interference approximately half a furlong out, involving Venetian Lion (GB), placed fourth, ridden by Tom Marquand, and Thunder Roar (GB), unplaced, ridden by Tom Eaves.
Marquand was suspended for 2 days for careless riding as he switched his mount right-handed for a gap when insufficiently clear of Thunder Roar (GB), which received a bump and forced Eaves wider off his intended line.
Following the race, Jack Mitchell reported that Return To Unit (GB), placed second, hung left-handed; the Veterinary Officer reported that the gelding had lost its left-fore shoe.
Tom Marquand reported that Venetian Lion (GB), placed fourth, was repeatedly denied clear running from approaching two furlongs out until inside the half-furlong marker.
The Veterinary Officer further reported that Rhoscolyn (GB), unplaced, had lost its left-fore shoe.
