THE WAY WE WIN (J493): After the event H Bentley reported that he was given the option of taking up a forward position. He said when his mount commenced well he elected to continue forward to comply with the instructions issued.

PERFECT PEACH (E488): Between the 450 Metres and the 200 Metres was held up for clear running behind BEAUTIFUL WIN.
