Smith stated that his mount was very green but that the two horses on the outside maintained their line.

The Raceday Stewards enquired into possible interference at the last flight and to the line involving Londonofficecallin, ridden by K.E Buckley, placed first and Stay Gold, ridden by L.A. McKenna, placed second, where it appeared that interference may have occurred. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. K. E. Buckley stated that both horses jumped the last flight out to their left independently of each other and that the second horse had not suffered any interference at it. Furthermore he added that when they made contact it was after the finish line. L. A. McKenna stated that he was badly hampered at the last and then closed all the way to the line. Furthermore, he added that he felt it had cost him the race. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Raceday Stewards were satisfied that Londonofficecallin was sufficiently clear when jumping left at the last and that Stay Gold had drifted left towards the stands on the run to the line of its own accord. Furthermore they were satisfied that the bump between the two was after the line so they made no alteration to the judge's placings and took no further action.
