PEAKNMONKEY - hung inwards when weakening rounding the final bend. Stewards questioned Junior driver S Thornley, assisted by K Barron, regarding the manner he drove near the 350m when allowing his runner to shift ground outwards. Mr Thornley advised that at the time the horse was weakening and hanging when placed under pressure and he was concerned runners to his inside were in restricted room. After hearing his explanation and viewing the replays Stewards advised Mr Thornley not to leave his drives open to query in future.
