HARRY'S SON (AUS) – (R Mullen): Commenced awkwardly. SAFETY CHECK (IRE) – (W Buick): Raced ungenerously in the early and middle stages.

FORJATT (IRE) – (C Hayes): Slow into stride. Rider reported that the gelding had a tendency to hang inwards and outwards throughout the race. General: Jockey C Hayes (FORJATT (IRE)) pleaded guilty to charge of careless riding under the provisions of ERA Rule 69(i), in that rounding the home turn near the 450 metres he shifted out when not clear of JOHANN STRAUSS (GB)(C Soumillon), resulting in that horse having to be checked and becoming unbalanced. C Hayes had his license to ride in races suspended for two race meetings (Meydan 05.03.2016 & Abu Dhabi 06.03.2016). In assessing penalty Stewards deemed interference to be mid-range and took into account C Hayes’s guilty pleas, upcoming engagements and good careless riding record. CHAMPIONSHIP (IRE) – (F Tylicki): Shifted in on jumping. Raced wide without cover from the 1000 metres. Rider reported that the gelding never felt comfortable throughout.
