GLORY B (H373): Shifted in at the start and was bumped. WOOD ON FIRE (C460): Approaching the 1000 Metres was steadied when crowded between MAGIC PHOENIX and TEAM HAPPY which shifted out despite the efforts of its rider A Hamelin. TALENTS SUPREMO (H133): Shifted in at the start and was bumped. Approaching the 50 Metres was directed to the outside of SCOTCH TYCOON to obtain clear running and then raced tight between SCOTCH TYCOON and WOOD ON FIRE over the concluding stages and as a consequence could not be fully ridden out to the finish. TEAM HAPPY (J218): Near the 1000 Metres shifted out despite the efforts of its rider, was bumped on the hindquarters and became unbalanced. Near the 900 Metres became unbalanced and was steadied when crowded between WOOD ON FIRE and PACKING HERMOD which shifted to the outside of PRIME MORTAR. Was then obliged to race wide and without cover from the 700 Metres. MR GOOD VIBES (H180): Shortly after the start was bumped on the hindquarters by TALENTS SUPREMO and became badly unbalanced. After the race, H Bentley reported that he felt his mount may have been galloped on during this incident. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. DIVINE SHINING (G373): On jumping was bumped heavily by GLORY B, resulting in DIVINE SHINING getting its head up and becoming unbalanced. Approaching the 100 Metres raced tight between DOUBLE BINGO and SAVVY CHIC, both of which shifted ground slightly. JOYFUL LIFE (H426): Withdrawn on 25.6.24 by order of the Stewards acting on veterinary advice (lame left fore) and replaced by Standby Declared Starter DIVINE SHINING.
