After the event, H Bowman reported that his mount raced keenly in the early stages and failed to run on when under pressure in the Home Straight. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

STORMI (K084): From the outside barrier was shifted across behind runners in the early stages. BLESSED NATION (J292): Near the 200 Metres attempted to obtain a run when there was doubtful room and as a result made contact with GLORIOUS SUCCESS, resulting in GLORIOUS SUCCESS being turned in and becoming unbalanced. In this incident, BLESSED NATION was then steadied when crowded between GLORIOUS SUCCESS and SUPERB BOY which shifted out and away from JOHANNES BRAHMS. The Stewards found that the initial contact from BLESSED NATION (M L Yeung) was the principal reason for the incident occurring. M L Yeung was advised to exercise more care and to ensure that there is sufficient room when he is improving into runs. SMART TRIO (J538): Jumped awkwardly.
