The Raceday Stewards enquired into possible interference in the closing stages of this race involving Cee En Gee, ridden by D.P. McDonogh, placed first, and Ze Do Asfalto, ridden by J.A. Heffernan, placed second, where it appeared there was slight contact between the two. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. J.A.
