He would have won the Wokingham (at Royal Ascot). I had him in such good form but he missed the cut. I did the silly thing to run him in a Group Three afterwards. We were very worried about the ground here. It's not that he wants a cut its just that he lacks a little early on and if something gets a run on him he can't quite get them back. He doesn't get six furlongs but in a fast run five furlongs if he can keep tabs on them he is always going to pick them up. The only other runner I have had in Ireland was in the Goffs Million a few years ago and it finished stone last. T J Pitt, trainer

The Stewards enquired into possible interference 1 furlong out involving Shipyard (USA), ridden by G.F. Carroll, placed fifth, and Yulong Baoju, ridden by F. Lynch, placed sixth, where it appeared Yulong Baoju suffered interference. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards were of the opinion Shipyard had improved his finishing position in relation to Yulong Baoju as a result of the interference and so they amended the result to read. Fifth: Yulong Baoju Sixth: Shipyard Furthermore, the Stewards were of the opinion the interference was accidental and so they took no further action. L.F. Roche, rider of More Questions trained by Edward Lynam, reported to the Clerk of Scales that his mount lost action and was eased in the closing stages and was lame on pulling up.
