Peter Savill has had his application to become the next chair of the BHA rejected, the Racing Post has learned.

When approached, Savill said he was disappointed by the decision and criticised the interview process carried out by the governing body's nominations committee.

The Racing Post understands that two other candidates have progressed to the next stage of the interview process for the role of BHA chair, which became vacant when Lord Allen stood down in March after just six months in the position.
