The Stewards reviewed an incident shortly after the start involving Black Pepper, ridden by C.T. Keane, Sir Allen (GB), ridden by A.J. Slattery, and Supagirl, ridden by S. Foley, where it appeared that horses bunched up on the outer. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the matter, the Stewards decided that no further action was warranted.

C.T. Keane, rider of Black Pepper trained by Mrs John Harrington, reported to the Clerk of Scales that his mount had a look coming to the road.

308D Richmond Homes Killavullan Stakes

The Stewards reviewed an incident inside the final furlong involving Boundless Ocean, ridden by L.T. McAteer, New Energy, ridden by R.C. Colgan, and Pennine Hills, ridden by D.P. McDonogh, where it appeared Boundless Ocean checked. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the matter, the Stewards were satisfied that no further action was warranted.

308E Manguard Plus Trigo Stakes

The Stewards enquired into an incident on the outer in the straight involving Layfayette, ridden by C.D. Hayes, Geometrical, ridden by L.T. McAteer, Lough Derg, ridden by J.A. Heffernan, and Wuqood (GB), ridden by B.M. Coen, where it appeared horses bunched. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. C.D. Hayes stated that as he switched out he got a bump on the outer. L.T. McAteer stated that his mount raced awkwardly, received a bump but was going backwards. B.M. Coen stated that his mount travelled well, as Lough Derg comes out he received a bump and as a consequence his mount bumped onto Geometrical. J.A. Heffernan stated that his mount carried his head to the right, as he changed his hands he drops a rein, which prevents him from taking a corrective check. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards apportioned no blame for the incident on any individual rider and took no further action.
