Commonwealth Cup result challenged

TRAINER Archie Watson has lodged an appeal against Dragon Symbol’s demotion from first place in the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot. Dragon Symbol passed the post a head in front of Campanelle in last week’s Group 1 sprint, but the placings were reversed by the Ascot stewards after an inquiry. The British Horseracing Authority’s independent disciplinary panel appeal hearing is set to take place next Thursday, July 1st.
