A.J. Slattery, rider of Sunset Nova trained by Andrew Slattery, reported to the Clerk of Scales that his mount hung badly right throughout.

The Stewards reviewed an incident approximately a furlong from the finish where it appeared there was some tight riding at the head of the field. Having reviewed the recording and considered the matter the Stewards decided that no further action was warranted.

Christian Delcros, trainer of Monsieur Piquer (FR), reported to the Clerk of Scales that his charge burst.

The Stewards enquired into an incident as horses leave the backstraight involving Eloso, ridden by W.J. Lee, Nothingbuttrouble (GB), ridden by O.J. Orr, and Rosa Dartle, ridden by R.P. Whelan, where it appeared Nothingbuttrouble (GB) ran short of room and stumbled. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. O.J. Orr stated that he wished to settle his filly where she was and gave a shout to R.P. Whelan that he could move in. This coincided with his own filly taking a sudden hold which led to the incident. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards found that the incident was caused by accidental interference and took no further action.

G.P. Halpin, rider of Tellthemi'mhere trained by P.O'Rourke, reported to the Clerk of Scales that his mount was slowly away.

The Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Veterinary Officer examined Neyland (GB), trained by Patrick Martin, at the request of the Stewards and reported the animal to be post race normal.

The Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Veterinary Officer examined Ranger Bob, trained by Gerard Keane, at the request of the Stewards and reported the animal to be post race normal.

Melanie Horsman, rider of Burning Lake trained by Joseph Anthony Murray, reported to the Clerk of Scales that her mount hung for a few strides in the straight.

The Stewards enquired into possible interference involving Burning Lake, ridden by Melanie Horsman, placed fourth and Is That Love, ridden by C.J. MacRedmond, placed fifth, where it appeared Burning Lake rolled onto Is That Love on the rails in the straight. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. Cian McRedmond stated that Burning Lake drifted over onto his mount on the rail, he had to take a pull and lost momentum. Melanie Horsman stated that she wasn't aware of the horse inside her and she was riding a difficult horse. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards made no alteration to the Judge's placings. The Stewards did however find Melanie Horsman in breach of Rule 214 (careless riding) and suspended her for four racedays.
Mr. C. Cunningham, Acting Steward, absented himself from this enquiry.
