ACTION PACKED - Trainer A Wohlers advised Stewards on 5 November that the gelding has had both hocks and a fetlock treated since last racing.

Cleared from the Unruly for future standing start engagements. Cast the near front racing plate during the running.

ROBYNS ART - placed in restricted room and broke shortly after the start when runners either side shifted ground. After viewing replays and speaking with Driver M Hurrell, Stewards could not apportion fault to any one horse or Driver and were satisfied the incident was due to general tightening from several runners, accordingly no further action was deemed necessary.
