Chart notes

LEGAL HEIR got a clean break from the outside while the rest encountered trouble, crossed over to the inside, opened up on the turn, led under confident handling into the final furlong, nudged along midstretch and coasted through the last sixteenth in an easy victory. CHAPTER ONE got knocked into outer rival leaving the gate, settled along the inside from off the pace, had to pause when running up behind a rival leaving the backstretch, shifted over to the two path and chased outside HEMET GOLD around the bend, was closest in pursuit of the winner with a furlong remaining, could not make any headway on the winner in the late stages but was able to best the rest. ARTIC POWER (IRE) got bumped and impeded leaving the gate, dropped back, trailed four wide into the turn, angled down to the two path, chased between runners entering the lane and got up for third. HEMET GOLD broke out and bumped, gave chase from inside to the stretch and weakened. THROWTHEFIRSTPUNCH veered in and bumped ARTIC POWER (IRE) shortly after the start, followed from off the rail, took the turn three to four wide and failed to rally. TEES TOUCH (GB) got bumped on both sides and steadied leaving the gate, chased from between rivals out of range of the pacesetter, raced two then three wide on the turn before angling to the rail and tired down the stretch. THERE WAS AN INQUIRY INVOLVING SEVERAL RUNNERS AT THE START. FOLLOWING A REVIEW, THE STEWARDS UNANIMOUSLY RULED THAT ALTHOUGH THROWTHEFIRSTPUNCH VEERED IN AND INTERFERED WITH ARTIC POWER (IRE) AT THE START, THROWTHEFIRSTPUNCH FINISHED BEHIND ARTIC POWER (IRE) AND THERE WOULD BE NO NEED FOR A DISQUALIFICATION.
