- Stewards Report
An enquiry was held to consider the placings in this race after interference on the run to the line involving the winner, Unanswered Prayers (IRE), ridden by Tom Cannon; Blue Stello (FR), placed second, ridden by Nico de Boinville, and Complete Unknown (IRE), placed third, ridden by Harry Cobden.
The Stewards considered that the interference had improved Unanswered Prayers (IRE)’s placing as, by hanging right-handed, the gelding carried Complete Unknown (IRE) off its intended line causing him to bump and turn the quarters of Blue Stello (FR) causing that gelding to become unbalanced, briefly losing forward momentum shortly before the line with the winning distance being a fast diminishing nose.
The placings were revised as follows: First – Blue Stello (FR); Second – Unanswered Prayers (IRE); Third – Complete Unknown (IRE), Fourth - Foxinthebox (IRE).
The interference was found to be accidental in that Unanswered Prayers (IRE) was hanging right- handed despite its rider’s best efforts to correct the gelding.
Following the race, Harry Skelton reported that River Legend (IRE), unplaced, made bad mistakes at both the fourth and third last hurdles and Aidan Coleman reported that Foxinthebox (IRE), placed fourth, hung right-handed.
