DR FAUSTUS (IRE) (G Birrer) was slow into stride. WEALD (GB) (R Thomas) jumped awkwardly and shifted inwards bumping DICKENSIAN (IRE) (M Henry), which in turn shifted inwards and bumped STIRLING CASTLE (GB) (J Rosales). In this incident Jockey R Thomas (WEALD [GB]) lost his off side iron which he was able to regain a short time later. Passing the winning post the first time, PEARLY KING (USA) (D Smith) had to be checked severely and lost ground. On enquiry, it was established that at this stage, STIRLING CASTLE (GB) had improved quickly between PEARLY KING (USA) on its inside and MISTER FASLIYEV (IRE) (D Badel) on its outside. At the same time, ENVISAGE (IRE) (T Durcan) which was racing to the outside of MISTER FASLIYEV (IRE) had rolled inwards slightly and this combined with the forward move of STIRLING CASTLE (GB) had resulted in PEARLY KING (USA) being crowded for room and having to be checked. After considering the evidence presented, the Stewards could not attribute blame to any one rider, although jockey J Rosales [STIRLING CASTLE (GB)] was advised to exercise greater care when improving between runners. Jockey W Smith reported that the near the 2000m the saddle on DETONATOR (IRE) had shifted which affected his riding of the gelding for the remainder of the race.
