Mullins, stated that he received a bump, but felt it was of little significance. S.F. O'Keeffe, stated that his mount went slightly left after jumping the second last and that he straightened his mount as soon as he heard Mr. Hayes shouting.

He felt he was entitled to go for the gap and stated that Mr. O'Keeffe straightened on realising up that he was there.
