The Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Veterinary Officer examined Narynkol (GB), trained by Cathal Byrnes, at the request of the Stewards and reported the animal to be lame on its right fore leg post race.

D.J. O'Keeffe, rider of Montel Glory trained by Philip Fenton, reported to the Clerk of Scales that his mount raced freely and made a mistake at the second last hurdle.

The Stewards requested a report from Mrs John Harrington, trainer, as to the apparent improvement in form of Fame And Joy, placed first, as compared with its most recent run in Bellewstown on 03/07/21 where she pulled up. Esme Cook, Authorised representative, stated that Fame And Joy never travelled on the good ground on its previous run, which was reported at the scales on that occasion, and the softer conditions today helped bring about the apparent improvement in form. Having considered the evidence the Stewards noted the contents of the report.

The Stewards requested a report from P.J. Rothwell, trainer, as to the apparent improvement in form of Berliet Express, placed first, as compared with its recent form. P.J. Rothwell reported that his charge did not get home over 2 miles and 3 furlongs on his last run in Downpatrick. In his opinion, the shorter trip today on a tighter track may have helped to bring about an improvement in form. Having considered the evidence the Stewards noted the content of the report.
