GOOD LUCK BABE (K016): No report. PHOENIX LIGHT (G192): From a wide barrier was shifted across behind runners in the early stages. Sent for sampling post-race. YUEN LONG ELITE (J272): Jumped only fairly. Approaching the 200 Metres was checked to avoid PATCH OF TIME when endeavouring to obtain a narrow run to the inside of that horse and as a result made contact with SANTORINI when it shifted in. Sent for sampling post-race. PATCH OF TIME (H483): After the event, M Chadwick reported that he was obliged to make some use of his mount in the early stages to go forward and cross GALE SAGA. He said with the pace of the event being run slightly inside of standard time in the middle stages, PATCH OF TIME then did not respond to his riding in the Home Straight. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. SOLID WIN (J225): Sent for sampling post-race. I AM THE BOSS (H446): No report. SANTORINI (J076): Approaching the 200 Metres YUEN LONG ELITE (Z Purton) endeavoured to improve into a tight run between SANTORINI and PATCH OF TIME where, in the opinion of the Stewards, there was not sufficient room. As a result, YUEN LONG ELITE was then checked to avoid PATCH OF TIME when that runner shifted in slightly whilst it was giving ground. As a consequence, YUEN LONG ELITE made contact with SANTORINI which became unbalanced. Z Purton was advised to exercise more care and to ensure that there is sufficient room when improving into runs. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. MR JUSTICE (K072): Jumped only fairly and shortly after the start was bumped by GALE SAGA. In the early stages raced keenly and for some distance near the 900 Metres was steadied to avoid NOBLE FANS. When under pressure in the Home Straight hung in and for some distance after the 400 Metres was reluctant to shift to the outside of PHOENIX LIGHT. NOBLE FANS (K038): No report. ALL ARE MINE (H293): From a wide barrier was shifted across behind runners in the early stages. ORIENTAL SURPRISE (K028): A veterinary inspection immediately following the race revealed that the horse was displaying an irregular heart rhythm. Before being allowed to race again, ORIENTAL SURPRISE will be required to perform satisfactorily in a barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination. GALE SAGA (J152): Bumped shortly after the start. PERFECTO MOMENTS (J003): No report. MR GOOD VIBES (H180): From the outside barrier was shifted across behind runners in the early stages.
