Authorisation of 4th placing was withheld until Stewards had spoken to driver S O'Reilly (I SPY DIAMONDS) placed 5th, to ascertain whether she wished to lodge a protest against CHEEKY RED (L McCormick) after being checked by that runner leaving the final bend. Miss O'Reilly declined the opportunity to proceed with a protest with all placings being authorised. Driver L McCormick defended a breach of Rule 869(3)(b) alleging he drove carelessly leaving the final bend when allowing his horse to shift outwards resulting in I SPY DIAMONDS being checked. After viewing the replays and hearing evidence from Stewards and Mr McCormick the Adjudicative Committee found the charge proved and Mr McCormick's driver's licence was suspended from the conclusion of racing on 16 February up to and including 22 February 2024 (2 days).
