VIVA HUNTER (E369): After the 300 Metres was shifted to the inside of LUCKY BANNER to obtain clear running and then raced tight to the inside of that runner until near the 100 Metres. Sent for sampling post-race. PANDA LEGEND (H002): Near the 100 Metres was eased when momentarily crowded by MISSION BRAVO which shifted in. G LINER (H072): When questioned regarding his riding, H Bowman stated that the intention was to lead the event, but his mount stumbled on jumping and as a result lost ground. He said in the early stages he then attempted to ride his mount forward, however, G LINER did not show sufficient pace to cross runners to his inside and as a result he took a trailing position behind MAYHEM. He added that entering the Home Straight he was able to place his mount under pressure until near the 200 Metres where he was unable to improve between MAYHEM and TRIUMPHANT WARRIOR and as a result G LINER did not obtain clear running from that point to the finish of the event. Trainer J Richards confirmed the instructions issued. MISSION BRAVO (E383): Jumped only fairly and from the outside barrier was shifted across behind runners in the early stages. FAST VICTORY (H393): After the race, K Teetan stated that his mount was under pressure in the middle stages and failed to run on in the Home Straight. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. TRIUMPHANT WARRIOR (H430): A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. LUCKY BANNER (G354): No report. STARSHIP EIGHTY (H022): Held up on the Home Turn. Between the 150 Metres and the 50 Metres was held up for clear running behind MAYHEM. FOREVER FOLKS (G463): No report. MAYHEM (H226): Jumped only fairly. Raced wide and without cover for the majority of the event. SUN OF MAKFI (D157): Bumped at the start. Sent for sampling post-race. GO HERO (H315): No report.
