DECRELOT (J551): After the event M L Yeung stated that when the pace increased from the 700 Metres his mount came under pressure before it commenced to give ground in the Home Straight. He added when he felt that there was something amiss with DECRELOT he did not continue to push it out over the final 200 Metres when not in a competitive position. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. The performance of DECRELOT, which finished tailed out, was considered unacceptable. Before being allowed to race again, DECRELOT will be required to perform to the satisfaction of the Stewards in a barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination. MEEPMEEP (H234): Approaching the 200 Metres was hampered when taken wider by FAMILY FORTUNE which shifted to the outside of TATTENHAM to obtain clear running. Sent for sampling post-race. EN PERFECTO (J409): Badly crowded shortly after the start. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race revealed that the horse was displaying an irregular heart rhythm. Before being allowed to race again, EN PERFECTO will be required to perform satisfactorily in a barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination. THE PRIME (J352): From the outside barrier was shifted across behind runners in the early stages. COLOURFUL BARON (G301): On jumping was severely checked when crowded by MEEPMEEP which jumped awkwardly and shifted in abruptly despite the efforts of its rider. PERFECT PEACH (E488): No report. SUPER TREASURE (J211): No report. TATTENHAM (H121): After the event A Hamelin stated that the intention was to hold a midfield position. He said when TATTENHAM jumped well and showed good pace in the early stages he continued to allow his mount to go forward and race outside the lead. TRADITION (J111): No report. FAMILY FORTUNE (H447): Approaching the 200 Metres was held up for clear running before being shifted to the outside of TATTENHAM. In this incident FAMILY FORTUNE made contact with MEEPMEEP. Sent for sampling post-race. SILVER DESTINY (J096): Jumped only fairly and then shortly after the start was checked when crowded between SUPER TREASURE and EN PERFECTO. After the event M Chadwick stated that the intention was to hold a more forward position but after being checked at the start his mount settled further back. He added that in the middle stages SILVER DESTINY raced keenly and therefore near the 800 Metres he shifted his mount to the outside of MEEPMEEP to start a forward move. He said as a result SILVER DESTINY then raced wide and without cover thereafter before giving ground in the Home Straight. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race found that horse to be a "roarer” SO AWESOME (D258): No report. HARRY'S HERO (H332): From a wide barrier was shifted across behind runners in the early stages. YEABOI (G372): Jumped only fairly.
