Incident Report
Bumped at the start. The Stewards inquired into an incident which occurred in the middle stages where RUBYLOT was positioned tight to the inside of NOISY BOY. After taking evidence from B Avdulla and C Soumillon, rider of NOISY BOY, the Stewards were satisfied that whilst NOISY BOY had kept RUBYLOT tight during the middle stages of the event, Jockey Soumillon had not ridden outside the requirement of the Rules, however, he was advised, wherever possible, he should ensure that runners positioned to his inside have comfortable racing room. Sent for sampling post-race.

Moderately away from gate 1, positioned 2 lengths behind the leader on rail, a bit closer on turn, finished off well to take 2nd. (See Racing Incidents.)

Incident Report
When questioned, C Soumillon stated that his instructions were to find cover. He said when caught wide in the early stages he was unable to comply with his instructions and as a result NOISY BOY was obliged to race wide and without cover until near the 800 Metres. He added that due to the wide run in the early stages and the fact that the horse had a hard run at its most recent start on 2 March 2025, NOISY BOY gave ground under pressure in the Home Straight. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
