The Stewards enquired into an incident in the straight involving Lieutenant Colonel (GB), ridden by D.J. Mullins, placed second and Snow Falcon, ridden by S.W. Flanagan, placed first. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards cautioned both riders concerning the accuracy of their evidence.
