THE STARTER REPORTED: a) The bridle and ear muffs on BIRD ON A WING (C Habib) were re-fitted at the start. b) LAUGH TILL I CRY (L Mxothwa) jumped inwards. c) COSMIC CLIFFS (*N Nastili) was slow into stride. THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED: a) All horses selected for TCO2 were within the required levels and no retests were recorded.
