The Raceday Stewards enquired into an incident at the last hurdle and on the run to the line involving Blizzard Of Oz, ridden by P.

Townend stated that his horse was tiring and he was trying to keep momentum going. Rachael Blackmore stated that her mount jumped left at the last but that she didn't receive much interference after the last.
