THE WILLIAM HILL BEST ODDS GUARANTEED HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 2) Permission was given for Stargazed (GB) to go early to post, Jel Pepper (IRE) and Hucklesbrook (GB) to go early to post and be mounted in the chute and King Of Light (GB) to be mounted in the chute.
An enquiry was held to consider the placings in this race after possible interference inside the final 2 furlongs involving the winner, King Of Light (GB), ridden by Daniel Tudhope, and Elara May (GB), placed third, ridden by Ashley Lewis.
The Stewards considered that there had been some interference just inside 2 furlongs out, when King Of Light (GB) had edged slightly right-handed at the same time as Lewis had attempted to improve through along the stands rail from behind King Of Light (GB).
Thereafter, from approaching 1 furlong out, Elara May (GB) had been continually denied a clear run as the filly’s rider persevered with attempting to challenge on the stands rail, whilst there never quite appeared to be sufficient racing room for him to do so.
The Stewards considered that the interference just inside 2 furlongs out had not improved King Of Light (GB)’s placing as the loss of ground suffered by Elara May (GB) during that part of the incident was significantly less than the official margin of 1¼ lengths at the line.
The interference just inside 2 furlongs out was found to be accidental in that Tudhope had edged slightly right-handed, causing Lewis to be briefly hampered when short of room on the rail.
Thereafter, from approximately 1½ furlongs out there had been no further interference caused by King Of Light (GB), but rather Lewis had been denied a clear run on several occasions when looking to continue his challenge on the stands rail into what was initially an ambitious gap.
Following the race, Pierre-Louis Jamin reported that Jel Pepper (IRE), unplaced, was never travelling.
P J McDonald reported that Trilby (GB), which started favourite and finished unplaced, ran flat having run 7 days previously; the Veterinary Officer examined the gelding post-race and had nothing to report.
Ashley Lewis reported that Elara May (GB), placed third, was denied a clear run on several occasions inside the final two furlongs.
