The Stewards enquired into possible interference a furlong down and a incident late on involving Lamprog, ridden by D. McMonagle, placed second, The Pargey Bee, ridden by Siobhan Rutledge, placed third, and Urban Oasis, ridden by J.A. Powell, placed first, where it appeared The Pargey Bee came across to the stands rail and caused interference. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. J.A. Powell stated that he planned to come wide into the home straight and had to check badly of heels. D. McMonagle stated he had to take a check. Siobhan Rutledge stated that she wanted to come wide into the straight, but accepted she had caused interference. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards made no alteration to the Judges placings, however they were of the opinion that Siobhan Rutledge, was in breach of Rule 214 in that she had ridden carelessly and having considered her record in this regard the Stewards suspended her for 6 racedays. Mr P.D. Matthews absented himself from this enquiry and was replaced by Mr C.J. Sweeney.
