General

The All clear of Race 5 was delayed to ascertain if Don’t Yoube Naughty had obtained a fair start.

Simultaneously Don’t yoube Naughty was waiting for Writeaboutchelsea who had broke gait in the early stages to fulfil its allotted position on the front line which delayed Don’t yoube Naughty being able to obtain its correct position and being checked by Circle Line.
