FLASH CURRENT (J500) on jumping was bumped on the hindquarters and became unbalanced. Between the 350M and the 300M had difficulty obtaining clear running when endeavouring to improve between runners. Then was shifted in to obtain clear running. Rider stated that his mount did not travel well during the event and failed to run on in the Home Straight which he attributed to the "Good to Yielding" track conditions.

HOT AIR BALLON (K144) rider reported that the intention was to hold a more forward position but his mount jumped awkwardly and lost ground at the start and as a consequence settled further back than intended.

BEAUTY GEMINI (L129) shortly after the start made contact with a runner. When giving ground near the 250M was bumped on the hindquarters and became unbalanced. Rider stated that the instructions were to go forward and lead with his mount stepping up in distance. He said after obtaining the lead his mount raced too keenly and would not settle despite his efforts to do so. He said as a consequence his mount gave ground in the Home Straight when it ran inside of standard time throughout the early and middle stages of the event.
