It didn’t look very likely to happen, did it? It looked like he was going to be an honourable third — I was watching the front two and all of a sudden he appeared in the picture. I was thinking, ‘how has he got here?’. He was 100-1 at the second-last and what price was he at the last? We had the Might Bite thing in this race a few years ago, so you’d have to say it’s been a strange race for me.

Allaho (FR) wore earplugs throughout the race.
An enquiry was held to consider whether Harry Cobden, the rider of Copperhead (GB), which fell at the final fence, Daniel Mullins, the rider of Easy Game (FR), which also fell at the final fence, and Robbie Power, the rider of Slate House (IRE), placed sixth, had continued in the race when their horses appeared to be tired.
The riders and the Veterinary Officer were interviewed and recordings of the incident were viewed.
The Veterinary Officer stated that post-race examinations of Copperhead (GB) and Easy Game (FR) revealed both geldings recovered within normal parameters.
Cobden explained that Copperhead (GB) had jumped the second-last fence well but when approaching the final obstacle the gelding had not picked up when asked, resulting in the fall.
Mullins explained that he also felt his mount had jumped the second- last fence well and was still galloping fluently towards the final obstacle.
However, after a good jump at the last fence, Mullins explained that Easy Game (FR) had tripped and fallen shortly after landing.
Power explained that Slate House (IRE) had been hampered at the second-last fence which cost the gelding momentum and Slate House (IRE) had only tired just before the final fence, by which time he had insufficient time to safely pull up.
Power added that having jumped the last the gelding had then galloped on at the one pace up the hill.
The riders’ explanations were accepted.
