Evidence was heard from the rider concerned, in the presence of Mr. D. Scahill, who accompanied him. In his evidence, J.

Having considered the evidence, the Stewards using their powers under Rule 230, disqualified Beachmount Paddy from sixth place. As a consequence, they amended the result to read as follows:Amended result: First: Comfort Zone, Second: Monarchs Brae, Third: Beautiful Chaos, Fourth: Mighty Mo Missouri, Fifth: Srowland Jack.

Sheehy, stated that his mount was a difficult ride throughout and had leaned inwards in the closing stages despite his best efforts.
