KINGSFOLD FLAME (M Cornell) was fractious in stall prior to start. KENNY'S IDOL (T Gillett) jumped inwards as start effected forcing BEECEES (T Norton) onto CROWN PACIFIC (B Cornell). NORTH RAIL (T Huish) attempted to buck shortly after the start colliding with KINGSFOLD FLAME (M Cornell). NORTH RAIL (T Huish) ran off on home turn.

Mrs S ARNOLD trainer of NORTH RAIL was advised by Stewards that the colt will have to pass a satisfactory barrier trial before being nominated again.

Before declaring correct weight Stewards viewed the video of the start of the race to be satisfied that PADARICO (B Cornell) had been afforded a fair start. A protest was lodged by T NORTON rider of ACHTUNG MAYBE 2^nd against BE STRONG (B Cornell) being declared the winner was dismissed by Stewards. Subsequent to the race Jockey T NORTON was severely reprimanded for entering a protest that Stewards considered was bordering on being frivolous and informed him that much stronger action may be taken against him in future.
