The Stewards requested a report from Damian Joseph English, trainer, as to the apparent improvement in form of Mokhalad (GB), placed first, as compared with its previous run at Tipperary last evening where he finished twelfth of fifteen runners over five furlongs. Craig English, Authorised representative for Damian Joseph English reported that their charge ran last evening at Tipperary over five furlongs and had lost ground at the start by fly leaping when the stalls opened which left him at the rear of the field and he was unable to get back into contention but ran on well in the closing stages. He added that today their charge had jumped smarter and appreciated the extra furlong and a stiffer finish which allowed him to stay on well and lead close home. Having considered the evidence the Stewards noted the content of the report.
