CHILLI BABA (G339): Jumped awkwardly and then from a wide barrier was shifted across behind runners in the early stages. For a short distance near the 450 Metres was held up behind MR GOOD VIBES. SMART BEAUTY (G477): No report. STRONGEST BOY (H027): On jumping was hampered when taken out by SILVER DESTINY. From the outside barrier was then shifted across behind runners in the early stages. After the event, H Bowman stated that when under pressure in the Home Straight he had some concern with the action of the horse. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. SMASHING EXPRESS (J252): Between the 450 Metres and the 300 Metres had some difficulty obtaining clear running when it lay in whilst being shifted to the outside of LEATHER MASTER to obtain clear running. SOARING BRONCO (J162): Jumped awkwardly. Sent for sampling post-race. MANYTHANKS FOREVER (J065): No report. IVICTORIAM (J226): No report. MR GOOD VIBES (H180): After the event, K Teetan reported that his mount came under pressure in the middle stages, did not finish the race off thereafter and was eased down in the Home Straight. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. The performance of MR GOOD VIBES, which finished tailed out, was considered unacceptable. Before being allowed to race again, MR GOOD VIBES will be required to perform to the satisfaction of the Stewards in a barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination. SILVER DESTINY (J096): After the event, M Chadwick confirmed that from a wide barrier and with his mount stepping up in distance he was requested to lead if possible. He said when his mount did not show sufficient pace to cross RED MAVERICK he elected to obtain a position outside that runner in the early stages before giving ground in the Home Straight. He added that SILVER DESTINY would be better suited by being dropped back in distance for its next race start. CASA LEGEND (G126): Shortly after the start was steadied when crowded by LEATHER MASTER which shifted in. CHATEAU LE PECHE (H471): A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. YOO YOO KNIGHT (H053): No report. LEATHER MASTER (H034): Shortly after the start was bumped on the hindquarters when it shifted in. Sent for sampling post-race. RED MAVERICK (J067): Noted to have bled from both nostrils after the race. As this was the second occasion that RED MAVERICK had bled, the horse is permanently barred from any further racing.
