a)	Shortly after the start, GENERAL HANCOCK (J Gates) was buffeted between MAJORCA PALACE and TWO OF US (*D Geerthsen) which was bumped out by WE ALL CHOMIES (*S Hlengwa) which jumped outwards. As a consequence of this incident, GENERAL HANCOCK (J Gates) became unbalanced, was squeezed out and took up a position at the rear of the field.
