Permission was given for Mulcahys Hill (IRE) and Regal Flow (GB) to both be mounted in the chute.
An enquiry was held to consider interference approaching the home bend involving As De Mee (FR), placed sixth, ridden by Bryony Frost and Vieux Lion Rouge (FR), placed ninth, ridden by Tom Scudamore.
Frost was cautioned for careless riding as she had allowed her horse to edge left-handed when insufficiently clear causing Scudamore to be briefly tightened for room against the rail.
The performance of Mulcahys Hill (IRE), which started favourite and was pulled up, in a field of eighteen runners, was considered.
The representative of Warren Greatrex’s explanation that the gelding was unsuited by the drying ground, which was officially described as Soft, Good to Soft in places on the National course and would prefer a softer surface, was noted.
The Veterinary Officer reported that a post- race examination of Mulcahys Hill (IRE), during routine testing, failed to reveal any abnormalities.
The winner Walk In The Mill (FR), appeared to show improved form, compared with its previous run at Wincanton on 9 November 2019 where the gelding was pulled up in a field of thirteen runners.
Robert Walford’s explanation that the yard was returning to form, was noted.
Walk In The Mill (FR) was routine tested.
Richie McLernon the rider of Kimberlite Candy (IRE), placed second, was suspended for 2 days for using his whip above the permitted level from the third last fence.
Following the race, the Veterinary Officer reported that Vieux Lion Rouge (FR), placed ninth, lost his left-hind shoe, the Veterinary Officer reported that Abolitionist (IRE), which was pulled up, lost his left- fore shoe.
For six-year-olds and upwards.
Penalties - after November 17, a winner of a chase 3lb; no penalty to increase a horse above 11st 12lb.
