The Stewards requested a report from Conor O'Dwyer, trainer, as to the apparent improvement in form of Trump Card, placed first, as compared with its recent run at Navan on the 28th August where he finished thirteenth of twenty runners. Conor O'Dwyer reported that his charge wore cheek pieces for the first time at Navan but was slowly away in a large field of runners and failed to fight to get into the race whereas today with the cheek pieces applied again, his charge, under instruction, jumped off and raced wide which appeared to have the desired affect for the improved performance. He further added that he had previously won off a rating of 68 but today ran off a rating of 51. Having considered the evidence the Stewards noted the content of the report
