TURIN WARRIOR (G150): After travelling a short distance lay out and made contact with STORM RUNNER. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
FORERUNNER (G465): On jumping was crowded by DRALA and ALWAYS MY FOLKS, both of which shifted ground. From a wide barrier was then shifted across behind runners in the early stages. Briefly held up behind THE HEIR near the 400 Metres. Between the 400 Metres and the 200 Metres was held up for clear running. Passing the 200 Metres was shifted to the inside of ICONICAL to secure clear running. Then over the final 50 Metres could not be fully ridden out when positioned close to CASHISCASH.
THE HEIR (H459): Approaching the 400 Metres was held up when positioned close to the heels of TURIN WARRIOR.
TOP DRAGON (J481): Near the 400 Metres was hampered when taken wider by FORTUNE BOY. After the event, H Bentley stated that from a wide barrier his instructions were to find a position midfield with cover if possible. He said when TOP DRAGON was caught wide and without cover in the early stages he was obliged to restrain his mount to race towards the rear of the field to avoid covering additional ground. He added that under pressure in the Home Straight TOP DRAGON responded only fairly to his riding and he attributed it to the horse settling further back in the field. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. The performance of TOP DRAGON was considered disappointing as compared to its previous race starts. Before being allowed to race again, TOP DRAGON will be required to perform to the satisfaction of the Stewards in a barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination.
SUPER EXPRESS (K245): For some distance in the early part of the Home Straight lay in and was held up when reluctant to shift to the outside of CASHISCASH. Sent for sampling post-race.
JOYFUL TREASURE (J496): Jumped only fairly. Raced keenly in the middle stages.
FORTUNE BOY (K098): No report.
ZETTA FORCE (J546): After the event, C L Chau stated that the intention was to hold a midfield position. He said from barrier 1 ZETTA FORCE jumped well and travelled strongly in the early stages due to it not racing since 31 January 2025. He said as a consequence his mount raced more forward than had been intended. Sent for sampling post-race.
ALWAYS MY FOLKS (J345): Shifted in at the start and was bumped. Raced wide and without cover for the majority of the event.
ICONICAL (J504): From the outside barrier was shifted across behind runners in the early stages. Approaching the 200 Metres had some difficulty obtaining clear running when endeavouring to improve to the outside of SUPER EXPRESS.
DRALA (J376): Jumped only fairly and then was crowded by CASHISCASH which shifted out. R Kingscote was issued with a warning for presenting to scale to weigh out with the incorrect saddle cloth number.
STORM RUNNER (J452): After travelling a short distance was bumped by TURIN WARRIOR which lay out despite the efforts of its rider. After the 400 Metres was hampered when bumped by THE HEIR (J Moreira) which shifted to the outside of TURIN WARRIOR to improve. J Moreira was advised to exercise more care.
SHINE BRIGHT (H385): Jumped awkwardly. Near the 100 Metres K De Melo dropped his whip.
CASHISCASH (J369): No report.
