The Stewards enquired into the running and riding of Cute Cherry (GB), ridden by J.W. Kennedy, and trained by Mrs Denise Foster. Evidence was heard from the horses rider and the trainers representative. J.W. Kennedy stated that his instructions were to jump off mid division, hold onto her and make the best of his way home. He added that Cute Cherry jumped deliberately, didn't travel as well as he would have liked, and ended up further back than he wanted but that she stayed on past beaten horses in the straight. In his opinion Cute Cherry would benefit from a step up to two and a half miles and a slower run race to help her jumping. Mr Brian Flood, Authorised representative for Mrs Denise Foster, had nothing further to add. The Stewards also received a report from the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Veterinary Officer who stated that Cute Cherry was blowing hard post race and showing signs of a delayed recovery. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards noted the explanations given.
