The start was delayed when QUEEN LEAR bucked on route the barrier dislodging its rider. Upon arrival at the barriers the mare underwent a veterinary examination and was subsequently passed fit to start. In this incident the bridle on QUUEN LEAR was displaced and as a result a further delay was experienced when this required refitting at the barriers.

Taylor) which was taken in by SUPER ONE SUSIE (G. Geran) which shifted in when not completely clear. Stewards advised jockey Geran to exercise more care in similar circumstances. When accessing the incident stewards were mindful of the shift outwards by REST OF THE WORLD which contributed to the incident and therefore took no further action.
