Connections of Cheltenham Gold Cup runner-up On His Own have decided not to appeal the decision of the stewards who left the placings unaltered following a lengthy inquiry after the race.

The Willie Mullins-trained On His Own was carried to his right by the winner Lord Windermere inside the final 100 yards and the stewards took a good 15 minutes to come up with their result.

They decided that the interference was not severe enough to alter the outcome and Jim Culloty was allowed to enter the history books as only the fifth man to have trained and ridden a winner of the big race.

In the immediate aftermath Mullins and owner Graham Wylie said they would discuss the possibility of an appeal but they have now decided to accept their fate.

"We're not appealing. Having chatted with Mr Wylie we've decided not to," Mullins said.

On His Own was a late supplementary entry into the race and Wylie was thrilled by his display.

"Of course we're not appealing, that wouldn't be a very sporting thing to do," he said.

"He ran a great race and I'm so proud of him, I'm happy with second.

Wylie said the horse was unlikely to run in the Grand National.
