He added that over the concluding stages when riding his mount out his left foot was dislodged from his stirrup iron and although he advised the Stewards that he was able to continue to push CHANCHENG GLORY out to the finish of the event, he was being somewhat hampered by his foot being dislodged. L Hewitson was advised, wherever possible, he must ensure that his foot is securely positioned within his stirrup iron to prevent a similar occurrence again. Subsequently Jockey Hewitson’s stirrup irons were inspected by the Stewards and found to be in good order and nothing was identified that would have caused his foot to be dislodged from the stirrup iron.

Trainer D J Hall stated that INVINCIBLE SAGE had pleased him leading into the event and in particular it barrier trialed well at Conghua on 24 May 2024. He added the only explanation he could offer for its disappointing performance was that INVINCIBLE SAGE was disadvantaged when it lost momentum in the early part of the Home Straight when held up.

He added whilst the opportunity was available to shift to the outside of STOLTZ, having regard to his instructions, he persevered with a run to the inside of STOLTZ between the 400 Metres and the 300 Metres before the run closed and he then commenced to shift to the outside of STOLTZ. He further stated that MUGEN lay in as he endeavoured to shift to the outside of STOLTZ and as a result did not obtain clear running to the outside of that runner until after the 200 Metres when MUGEN finished the race off well. Trainer P C Ng confirmed the instructions and stated that he issued such instructions as MUGEN had performed best when ridden in this manner and in particular when it last won on 21 January 2024 when it improved in between runners in the Home Straight.
