A post-race veterinary examination no obvious abnormalities. ROYAL MARINE (IRE) - (C Soumillon): Bumped shortly after the start. When questioned regarding the disappointing performance of the gelding, the rider could offer no real explanation. A post-race veterinary examination revealed no obvious abnormalities.
