The Stewards received a report from Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Starter,Mr J.R. Banahan, that J.P. O'Sullivan, rider of Wolfofallstreets had failed to obey his instructions at the start and caused a false start. Evidence was heard from the starter and rider concerned. Mr J.R. Banahan stated that J.P. O'Sullivan had got his horse into a momentum before being signalled to do so and a false start was called as a result of this. J.P. O'Sullivan stated that he was riding a horse wearing cheek pieces who needed a little encouragement to ensure that he would start. He felt that his mount overreacted to a nudge to keep moving forward as he was getting pushed against the hedge on the wide outside. Having viewed the recording of the incident and considered the evidence, the Stewards accepted the rider's explanation and took no further action.

The Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Veterinary Officer examined Never Feel Blue, trained by W.P. Mullins, at the request of the Stewards and reported the animal to be lame on her left foreleg post race.

The Stewards enquired into possible interference inside the last one and a half furlongs involving Jeremys Jewel, ridden by Mr B. O'Neill, placed first and Via Rosa, ridden by Mr D. O'Connor, placed second, where it appeared that Via Rosa was short of room and the rider had to sit for a number of strides. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. In his evidence Mr D. O'Connor stated that his mount was staying galloping when Jeremys Jewel came over towards him and both intimidated his mount and took her ground resulting in him having to sit for many strides before switching out to deliver a challenge. Mr B. O'Neill stated that his mount drifted in for a back hander with the whip and in his opinion he thought that he was one length clear but may have misjudged this slightly. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards made no alteration to the Judges placings. They were, however,of the opinion that Mr B. O'Neill had caused interference by riding carelessly and suspended him for two racedays having taken his previous record into consideration.
