An enquiry was held to consider the placings in this race after interference approximately 2 furlongs out involving HASKOY, placed second, ridden by Frankie Dettori, and GIAVELLOTTO (IRE), placed fourth, ridden by Neil Callan. The Stewards considered that the interference had improved the placing of HASKOY as the steadily improving GIAVELLOTTO (IRE) had been severely checked in his run at a crucial stage of the race and become badly unbalanced as a result of HASKOY drifting across his rightful running. The Stewards deemed that the ground and momentum lost by GIAVELLOTTO (IRE) was greater than the official distance of a closing ¾ of a length between the runners at the line. The Stewards therefore revised the placings as follows: First – ELDAR ELDAROV, Second – NEW LONDON (IRE), Third – GIAVELLOTTO (IRE), Fourth – HASKOY. Dettori was suspended for 5 days for careless riding as he had allowed his mount to drift left without sufficient and timely correction, causing GIAVELLOTTO to be severely checked in its run.
