An enquiry was held to consider the placings in this race after two incidents of interference from approaching the final furlong involving the winner, Newyorkstateofmind (GB), ridden by Ray Dawson; Second Collection (GB), placed second, ridden by Rossa Ryan; Bay Watch (IRE), placed third, ridden by Charles Bishop and Michaels Choice (GB), placed fourth, ridden by Hollie Doyle.

In the first incident, approaching the final furlong marker, Dawson was suspended for 4 days for careless riding as he had misjudged his manoeuvre left-handed out from behind Michaels Choice (GB), causing Second Collection (GB) to clip heels.

In the second incident, inside the final furlong, Dawson was suspended for 2 days for careless riding as he had allowed Newyorkstateofmind (GB) to drift right-handed under a left- handed drive, causing Michaels Choice (GB) to be checked, before continuing to edge right-handed which resulted in Bay Watch (IRE) being intimidated and that gelding being shifted right-handed and making contact with Second Collection (GB).

The Stewards considered that the interference had improved Newyorkstateofmind (GB)’s placing in that Second Collection (GB) lost significant ground and momentum in the first incident and was closing rapidly when suffering slight contact in the second incident, to be beaten a diminishing head at the line, and revised the placings as follows: First, Second Collection (GB); Second, Newyorkstateofmind (GB); Third, Bay Watch (IRE); Fourth, Michaels Choice (GB).
