B.M. Coen, rider of Selective Power trained by Edward Lynam, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount hung left under pressure.

The Stewards enquired into an incident inside the final two furlongs involving Miss Abby Jools, ridden by R.P. Whelan, Selective Power, ridden by B.M. Coen, Beleaguerment, ridden by G.F. Carroll, and Helmet Star (GB), ridden by C.D. Hayes where it appeared that an incident involved Miss Abby Jools and Beleaguerment. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. In his evidence, G.F. Carroll stated that his mount failed to quicken through a gap that appeared but did not feel any contact from Miss Abby Jools. C.D. Hayes stated that his run had petered out and felt that he was not involved in any incident. B.M. Coen stated that he had kicked on when his mount lugged in on Beleaguerment through running green in his first handicap. R.P. Whelan stated that he went for the same gap as G.F. Carroll when he saw that rider niggling his mount but it closed when Selective Power lugged in and this caused a concertina effect with Beleaguerment. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards informed R.P. Whelan that on this occasion they would give him the benefit of the doubt but advised him to ride with more awareness.

The Stewards requested a report from Peter Lawlor, trainer, as to the apparent improvement in form of Joupe, placed first, as compared with its recent run at Down Royal on the 2nd September when finishing ninth of twelve runners.
