This race was delayed whilst the Stewards reviewed footage to consider the circumstances surrounding how London Calling (IRE), trained by Richard Spencer, had arrived at the start wearing an undeclared hood, and therefore had to be withdrawn.

A resultant enquiry was held to consider how the gelding had left the Parade Ring still wearing the undeclared garment.

Spencer was interviewed and shown recordings of the incident.

It was noted that prior permission had been granted by the Stewards for the gelding to wear a hood in the Parade Ring and connections were aware that it had to be removed before the gelding got onto the course.

However, upon reviewing the footage, the Stewards considered that there had been insufficient attempts to remove the hood and, therefore, Spencer was fined £140.

Approaching the final furlong the winner, Governor Of Punjab (IRE), lugged left-handed at the same time as Dragon Command (GB), unplaced, edged left-handed when weakening.

After viewing a recording of the incident, it was found that no interference was involved and it had not improved the placing of Governor Of Punjab (IRE).

Following the race, James Doyle reported that Full Verse (IRE), unplaced, hung left-handed, and George Scott reported that Dragon Command (GB), unplaced, was unsuited by racing crowded for room.
