BEDOUINS BOY (IRE) - (C Beasley): Bumped on jumping. CHINA ROAD (USA) - (B Pinheiro): Commenced awkwardly, bumping another runner. On return to scale the rider advised that the colt hung outwards rounding the home turn. FALCON CLAWS (USA) - (S Hitchcott): Slow to begin. MASS MEDIA (GB) - (A Fresu): Bumped on jumping. When questioned regarding the disappointing performance of the gelding, the rider explained that MASS MEDIA (GB) never travelled throughout and failed to run out the 1800 metres distance. A post-race veterinary examination failed to reveal any abnormalities. MIDNIGHT DEAL (USA) - (K Stott): Slow to begin. MIRACLE MAKER (USA) - (X Ziani): Raced wide without cover from the 1000 metres. MIRACLE POWER (USA) - (B Doyle): Commenced awkwardly. Shortly after the start had be steadied when bumped by another runner. Over-raced in the middle stages. OKTALGANO (USA) - (N Garbutt): On jumping reared and lost ground. Raced ungenerously in the early stages. RAAHIA (USA) - (D O'Neill): Commenced awkwardly. ROSE GREY (USA) - (M Nicholls): Raced wide without cover in the early and middle stages. VARSHA (GB) - (T O'Shea): Fractious in the barrier prior to the start. Bounded on jumping. Steadied near the 1000 metres when tightened for room. In the early part of straight was held up for a clear run. A routine post-race veterinary examination failed to reveal any abnormalities. General: Stewards inquired into the reason for VARSHA (GB)(T O'Shea) having to be steadied near the 1000 metres. On the evidence and available footage it was established that near the 1000 metres, OKTALGANO (USA)(N Garbutt) shifted in when racing ungenerously, resulting in VARSHA (GB) having to be steadied when tightened for room. Stewards advised Jockey N Garbutt to exercise more care in a similar situation.
