Race 1 - 1:55pm. THE EDINBURGH GIN'S SEASIDE GIN HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 3)

REVEREND JACOBS wore earplugs which were removed at the start. An enquiry was held to consider the placings in this race after interference approaching 1 furlong out, when REVEREND JACOBS, placed third, ridden by Kevin Stott, drifted left and interfered with EYE OF THE STORM (IRE), placed fourth, ridden by Phillip Makin. The Stewards considered that the interference had improved the placing of REVEREND JACOBS as the rider of EYE OF THE STORM (IRE) had to take a significant check, resulting in the gelding losing all momentum, to then be beaten a head for third place. The Stewards ordered the placings to be revised as follows: third EYE OF THE STORM (IRE), fourth REVEREND JACOBS. Stott was suspended for 2 days for careless riding in that he had allowed his mount to drift left handed without sufficient correction causing interference to EYE OF THE STORM (IRE). Race 2 - 2:30pm. THE EDINBURGH GIN'S SCOTTISH SPRINT CUP HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 2)

Permission was given for ORNATE to go to post early. The winner CASPIAN PRINCE (IRE), appeared to show an improvement in form compared with its previous run at Epsom on 2 June 2018, where the gelding finished thirteenth of twenty, beaten 8¼ lengths. Michael Appleby explained that the gelding had appreciated the less tacky ground on this occasion and appreciated being able to get the run of the race. His explanations were noted and CASPIAN PRINCE

Permission was given for MIGHTASWELLSMILE, TELLOVOI (IRE), LOTARA, and MR POTTER to go to post early. It was noted that MR POTTER wore earplugs. The Stewards noted that LOTARA, trained by Jim Goldie, had received permission to go to the start early, but the mare was reluctant and planting so was led riderless to post. Following the race, Dougie Costello reported that TOLLOVOI (IRE), unplaced, ran in snatches. Race 7 - 5:30pm. THE EDINBURGH GIN'S RHUBARB AND GINGER LUCKY LAST HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 5)
