taking into account the characteristics of the protagonists is pointless.The stewards don't take them into account, so saying it wouldn't go by ,because that is what happened in previous races, is totally irrelevant.

the boys who bet 1.02 the second past the post in running should consider themselves very lucky, it was a million to go past
has won twice previously, so maybe not quite 1 million/1

I feel very strongly about the way the stewards give the benefit of the doubt to the winner. And it affects the way people think. From the head-on it was clear that the second-past-the-post had been hampered not allowed to come with her one-paced run in a straight line had been taken off the course. As someone said elsewhere the jockey on the winner was intent in stopping her from going past. It is great that the stewards did as the Chepstow ones did last week and acknowledged that had she been allowed to keep a straight line she would have won. The "I'll prevent my rival going past; they can't prove it would have won; I'll settle for a two-day ban" situation that we have come to accept is simply wrong.

I layed the 2nd PTP and would have no problem accepting the decision if I have enough confidence in stewards to know that each time the same thing happens that we get the same decision being made, yet that's just not the case.
I was also on the wrong end both times of the farcical Stratford enquiries when first time they changed the result on the day but it was reversed on appeal and then the next time the same thing happened, they still changed it anyway and it stood.

Is that the line taken in chases? Feel sorry for you. Ludicrous situation allowing the one on the stand side to be squeezed out by the leader going from the inside of the final fence to the wide outside at the line.
