Incident Report
Shifted in at the start, was bumped and became unbalanced. Shortly after the start was eased away from WORLD HERO which shifted out slightly. After the event L Hewitson stated that from a more favourable barrier today he was instructed to hold a handy position.

Trainer M Newnham confirmed the instructions issued.
