Did the stewards get it right in the Commonwealth Cup? Experts have their say

Campanelle won the Group 1 in the stewards' room on Friday.

Archie Watson's horse lost the race in the stewards' room. The stewards took a broader interpretation of the rules and decided that the aggressor could not have won without the foul. Watson got a demotion in France in 2018.

The stewards got it right in the Commonwealth Cup. Oisin Murphy has to be stronger in those situations. James Hill, tipster, thinks the stewards did not do enough to stop Dragon Symbol dragging Campanelle.

Dragon Symbol has more to offer than Campanelle. Keith Melrose thinks Dragon Symbol is the better horse. He would put Dragon symbol in at a shorter price if they meet again.

All the reaction on Friday at Royal Ascot. Free microsite offers betting advice and exclusive Royal Atcot free betting offers.
