It was a great performance. The horse was out of sorts all year, I don't know what was wrong with him but he started to come in the last month. Our jockey couldn't have done it better and everything worked out lovely. It's a lovely pot to land and it's a good man involved (Phil Rugg). It's his first horse to get involved with, with me, so it's great. There is no point making any plans, we'll enjoy today. A J Martin, trainer

The Stewards fined Gordon Elliott, trainer, ?65 for failing to fit the correct head gear to Ingenuity (GB), prior to entering the parade ring

The Stewards interviewed Miss L.A. Hourigan, rider of Moonmeister, concerning her use of the whip in closing stages of this race. Evidence was heard from the rider concerned. Having viewed a recording of the race and considered the evidence the Stewards found Miss L. A. Hourigan in breach of Regulation 10.3(g), in that she used her whip with excessive frequency, and having considered her record in this regard suspended her for 4 racedays

The Stewards wished to speak to D.K. Budds, trainer of Firlinfeu, regarding the refusal of his charge to start in this race. As D.K. Budds failed to respond to requests to attend the Stewards' room, the Stewards referred the matter to the Referrals Committee for further investigation.
