CLASSIE LINC - placed in restricted room and was checked passing the 150m when being shifted wider by CRUSHER LOU. After questioning drivers S Tomlinson (CLASSIE LINC), S Thornley (CRUSHER LOU) and T Williams (SPICEY LOU) and viewing replays it was established that CRUSHER LOU had attempted to shift CLASSIE LINC wider with sufficient advantage however both horses had been slow to react, with the quickly improving SPICEY LOU simultaneously laying inwards placing pressure to the outside of CLASSIE LINC. When considering these circumstances Stewards were unable to apportion blame to any one horse or driver and subsequently took the matter no further.
