    The Starter reported that BARTON BOUNTY, trained by Peter Niven, was unruly in the stalls and withdrawn. The trainer’s attention was drawn to the restriction incurred under Rule (B)44 and informed that the gelding could not run until the day after passing a stalls test.

    The Stewards held an enquiry into possible interference inside the final furlong. They found that FAVOURITE GIRL (GER), placed third, ridden by Jack Duern, had interfered with PIPERS PIPING (IRE), placed fourth, ridden by Nicole Nordblad and SCARY MOVIE (IRE), placed second, ridden by D E Egan. The Stewards found Duern in breach of Rule (B)54.1 and guilty of careless riding in that he allowed his horse to drift right away from the whip. They suspended him for 3 days as follows: Friday 17 and Saturday18 February and on a date which will be notified to him by the British Horseracing Authority for remedial training.

    The record of vaccinations in the passport of SOURCE OF LIGHT (IRE), trained by Daniel Loughnane, did not comply with the Rules of Racing. The Stewards found the trainer in breach of Rule (E)18 and fined him £280, this being his second offence within the previous twelve months.

    The Stewards held an enquiry to consider the apparent improvement in form of the winner, HOMEWARD STRUT, ridden by Raul Da Silva and trained by Frank Sheridan, which had never previously been placed. They interviewed the trainer who stated that today was the first time the gelding was blinkered and his first run in a handicap. Having heard his evidence they forwarded his explanation to the British Horseracing Authority so that the previous performances of HOMEWARD STRUT could be reviewed.
