Near the 200 metres ZAIN SHAMARDAL (IRE) had to be momentarily steadied when held up for clear running. In the straight DISA LEADER (SAF) hung left. A post-race veterinary examination of REBEL SONG (IRE) revealed the horse to be lame in the right fore leg. Mr A bin Harmash, the trainer of REBEL SONG (IRE), was notified that prior to the horse being entered to race again he must provide a veterinary certificate of fitness for REBEL SONG (IRE).

MODEL PUPIL (GB) and WITHOUT FEAR (FR) were slow to begin. RENEW (IRE) raced wide without cover throughout. Near the 350 metres MOMENT IN TIME (IRE) which was finishing strongly and making ground quickly into the field, restrained away from the heels of SADDLERS ROCK (IRE) which was tiring. MOMENT IN TIME (IRE) then shifted in causing WITHOUT FEAR (FR) to check. On inquiry Stewards accepted that this was a racing incident and Jockey J Crowley (MOMENT IN TIME (IRE)) had attempted to avoid shifting in. Approaching the 300 metres BUCKWHEAT (GB) took a run in restricted room between SADDLERS ROCK (IRE) on its inside and STATUTORY (IRE) on its outside. Shortly after, STATUTORY (IRE) lay in marginally, with BUCKWHEAT (GB) shifting in causing SADDLERS ROCK (IRE) to be tightened. Jockey M Barzalona (BUCKWHEAT (GB)) was reprimanded under the provisions of ERA Rule 69(i) for taking a run where there was insufficient room. Jockey L Jurado (MODEL PUPIL (GB)) dropped his whip near the 300 metres. During the running of this race the left hind leg bandage of MOMENT IN TIME (IRE) worked loose. On inquiry, trainer Mr D Simcock explained that he had placed a soft cotton wool type bandage under the external vet-wrap which was taped and this had worked loose. MOMENT IN TIME (IRE) had returned with the external bandage in place. Mr D Simcock undertook to review the use of this type of bandage.
