Shortly after the start shifted in and bumped another runner. When questioned regarding the disappointing performance of the gelding, the rider advised that after becoming fractious in the barrier prior to the start EASTERN WORLD (IRE) became unsettled. A post-race veterinary examination revealed the gelding to be mildly lame in the right fore-leg, however an endoscopic examination revealed a degree of mucus which may have affected the gelding’s performance. Trainer Mr. A bin Harmash was advised that prior to the gelding being permitted to enter in a race it must complete one satisfactory stalls test. FREEDOM FIGHTER (USA) - (T O'Shea): Commenced awkwardly. Raced wide without cover for the majority. I'LL STAND TALLER (USA) - (W Buick): On jumping shifted in and bumped another runner. Near the 1100 metres had to be steadied and lost ground, when tightened for room. MUBAKKER (USA) - (D O'Neill): Marginally slow to begin and was tightened for room shortly after, losing ground.

A post-race veterinary examination failed to reveal any abnormalities. NATIONWIDE (IRE) - (A de Vries): Slow to begin. ON THE WARPATH (GB) - (A Fresu): On jumping was bumped by another runner. NEVER JUST A DREAM (IRE) - (G Malune): Shortly after the start was bumped by another runner.

In assessing penalty Stewards took into account J da Silva’s good careless riding record, guilty plea and assessed the carelessness to be in the low-range.
