Permission was given for Mehdaayih (GB) to wear a hood in the Parade Ring.

Rawdaa (GB) wore earplugs which were removed at the start.

There was a delay to the start of this race as Maqsad (FR) had to be re-shod upon before entering the Parade Ring.

The Starter reported Sun Maiden (GB) was the subject of a third criteria failure.

The representative of Sir Michael Stoute was informed that the filly could not run until the day after passing a stalls test.

As it was the second occasion within the previous 12 months that Sun Maiden (GB) had been reported, a further report within the same period would mean the filly would be prevented from having a stalls test for 6 months.

The Starter further reported that Nyaleti (IRE) was reluctant to enter the stalls.

Mark Johnston was informed that the filly could not run until the day after passing a stalls test.

The performance of Hermosa (IRE), which started favourite and finished unplaced, was considered.

Aidan O'Brien could offer no explanation for the filly's performance; the Veterinary Officer reported that a post-race examination of Hermosa (IRE) during routine testing failed to reveal any abnormalities.

Following the race, Jim Crowley reported that Maqsad (FR), unplaced, ran flat.

An enquiry was held to consider how a member of the public had made it onto the course following this race and had walked in with the winner, DEIDRE (JPN), part way down the walkway before being ejected from that area of the course.

The Clerk of the Course, representing the Managing Executive, the Assistant to the Clerk of the Course and Oisin Murphy, the rider of DEIDRE (JPN), were interviewed.

The Clerk of the Course gave assurances that a post-race debrief with the Racecourse’s Security team would address how to deal with such incidents in future.

Their comments were noted and a report was passed to the Head Office of the British Horseracing Authority.
