STAR ON THE ROCKS - crowded by an outside runner and shifted into the passing lane late in the run home placing a trailing runner in restricted room. Authorisation of 2nd placing was withheld until Stewards had spoken to drivers S Thornley (STAR ON THE ROCKS) and J Young-Grant (VERDUCCI) placed 6th and were satisfied that Mr Thornley's horse had shifted inwards as a result of being crowded. After viewing the replays Mrs Young-Grant elected not to proceed with a protest with placings being duly authorised.
