LET IT RIP - out of position at the start despite the efforts of driver S Thornley. A warning was placed on the barrier record of the gelding. Over-raced early stages. Mr Thornley reported the gelding had been making abnormal breathing noises during the running. A post-race veterinary examination revealed no abnormalities. Stewards will follow up with connections in the coming days.
