"Can I stop a cheque?
You can request your bank to stop payment of a cheque before it makes its
decision whether or not to pay it. If payment of the cheque was guaranteed
by a cheque guarantee card, you cannot subsequently ask your bank to stop
payment."

Although this advice is strictly not conclusive. It says that you CAN stop
a cheque BEFORE the bank decide to pay. On the other hand, you CANNOT ask
the bank to stop if a cheque guarantee card was used. This leaves a strange
hole in the middle; not very well drafted...

I suspect that is deliberate.

They don't like to publicise the fact that it can be done, so they
sidestep the issue by ambiguous wording.
