Manley-Pender, unplaced, and Kentucky Gal, ridden by J.M. Sheridan, unplaced, where it appeared Bridge The Gap became unbalanced and had to check. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. T.

The Raceday Stewards requested a report from Leonard Paul Flynn, trainer, as to the apparent improvement in form of Timeonourside, placed first, as compared with its recent form. Leonard Paul Flynn stated that his charge missed the break the last day and lost all chances of winning and that todays better break may have brought about the apparent improvement in form. Having considered the report the Raceday Stewards noted the explanation offered.

J.A. Powell, rider of Pandion Power, trained by J.P. Murtagh, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount hung left up the straight.

The Raceday Stewards interviewed T.R. Costello, rider of Romford, concerning his use of the whip in the closing stages of this race. Evidence was heard from the rider concerned. In his evidence, T.R. Costello accepted he was in breach of the Whip Regulation and apologised for his actions. Having viewed a recording of the race and considered the evidence the Raceday Stewards were satisfied T.R. Costello was in breach of R.10.3(b)(hitting their mount when out of contention). Having taken his previous record into account the Raceday Stewards suspended T.R. Costello for two racedays.
