A Norfolk that posed as many questions as it answered, specifically concerning what might've happened without a final-furlong melee caused by the winner veering left and more generally as to the overall quality of stewarding in Britain and whether the rules as they're currently interpreted are fit for purpose, the assertion that 'the interference had not improved the position of the winner' puzzling to say the least, Paul Hanagan's 10-day careless riding ban cold comfort indeed to connections of the third and fourth, both of whom had their chance ended; the pace was sound - the winner, third and fourth were all waited with initally - and the form looks about up to scratch for a race that more often than not requires a useful winning effort rather than anything better.
