BLUE EYED BOY, which stood awkwardly in the stalls and was fractious, jumped awkwardly, losing two lengths and thereafter was slow into stride. Trainer Reeves will be advised to have this gelding re-schooled before its next engagement. HENRY C flyjumped, losing two lengths. MAYORAL DECREE was fractious on parade and dislodged Jockey Puller. The colt bolted the course, was eventually caught and secured, and was withdrawn by the Stewards for causing a delay. Trainer Maeder will be advised that should this colt behave in a similar manner in his future engagements he may be suspended. DOWNTON ABBEY shifted inwards away from BALLETOME which rolled in at about the 100m. This resulted in PLAIN OF WISDOM being forced to steady off the heels of DOWNTON ABBEY. In the concluding stages BLUE EYED BOY, which raced green, was switched out sharply off the heels of PLAIN OF WISDOM. Jockey Cormack, the rider of BREATHLESS BERTIE, reported that his saddle slipped sideways shortly after the start, which resulted in him being unable to fully assist this gelding. BALLETOME was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Scratched: SEVENTH FEATHER - skin disease. MAYORAL DECREE - bolted the course causing a delay.
