THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED:
a)	Leaving the 300m, TWICE IN CAMDEN (C Habib), which had come to the end of its run, was squeezed out between LIVERPOOL LEGEND (M Yeni) and MONSIEUR CHEVELLE (M Khan), which was carried out by CAPE BOUQUET (N Klink), which shifted out away from the crop. 
Jockey N Klink (CAPE BOUQUET) appeared before the Board and was advised to take the necessary corrective measures sooner in races.
