Owing to low-lying sun, the Raceday Stewards granted permission for fences two and three to be omitted from this race.

K.C. Sexton, rider of The Big Doyen, trained by Peter Fahey, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount made a bad mistake at the first.

The Raceday Stewards reviewed an incident bypassing the third last fence involving Conyers Hill, ridden by S.F. O'Keeffe, placed first, One Last Tango, ridden by M.P. Walsh, placed second, and Someone's Wish, ridden by D.J Gilligan, placed fourth, where it appeared the three horses came close together. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the matter, the Raceday Stewards were satisfied that no further action was warranted.

015F Aspall H'cap S'chase

Owing to low-lying sun, the Raceday Stewards granted permission for fences two and three to be omitted from this race.

015G Madrí Excepcional H'cap S'chase

The Raceday Stewards enquired into possible interference approaching the last fence involving Money Heist, ridden by K.M. Donoghue, placed third, and Marronstown, ridden by B.W. Harvey, placed second, where it appeared interference may have occurred. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. K.M. Donoghue stated that he ran out of room three strides from the last fence which he felt cost him a place. B.W. Harvey stated that he felt he was clear of Money Heist at the time and that he wasn't aware of K.M. Donoghue until contact was made. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Raceday Stewards were of the opinion that while Marronstown had caused interference to Money Heist, he did not improve his finishing position as a result of this interference so they made no alteration to the Judge’s placings. Furthermore, the Raceday Stewards were satisfied that no further action was warranted.

D.J. O'Keeffe, rider of Now Where Or When, trained by S.R.B. Crawford, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount leaned a bit right in the closing stages.

K.M. Donoghue, rider of Money Heist, trained by Gavin Cromwell, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount suffered interference at the last.

B.W. Harvey, rider of Marronstown, trained by D.M. Christie, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount ran around in the straight.
