General – On inquiry it was established that near the 1000m MY TRADITION (I Luximon) shifted in and away from PEMBROKE CASTLE (S Wiseman) resulting in EL SICARIO (A Nicholls) being crowded for room and restrained. Following this incident MY TRADITION was taken outwards but again shifted in near the 900m causing EL SICARIO to again be steadied from heels. In relation to the incident at the 900m Stewards cautioned apprentice I Luximon and advised him to show more care when shifting ground and to ensure he is fully clear in similar circumstances.
