Brouder, placed fourth, and Kellyiscool, ridden by M.J.M O'Sullivan, placed fifth, where it appeared the riders got a bit tight for room. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the matter, the Raceday Stewards were satisfied that no further action was warranted.

At the request of the Raceday Stewards, C.P O'Shea, rider of Jet Star, trained by C.W.J. Farrell, reported to the Stewards' Secretaries that his mount ran keen, hung badly left and slipped up on the bend past the stands independently of any other horse.

155D Michael Reynolds H'cap H'dle

The Raceday Stewards requested a report from W.P. Mullins, trainer, as to the apparent improvement in form of Stilyker, placed first, as compared with its previous run at Clonmel on the 11th May when finishing thirteenth of sixteen runners beaten sixty four lengths by the winner Lucky Zebo on soft ground. Peter Delmer, Authorised representative of W.P. Mullins, reported that Stilyker returned to racing at Clonmel after a layoff of almost one year. He added that no abnormality was found post race but the gelding had improved since that run. Having considered the evidence, the Raceday Stewards noted the content of the report.

The Raceday Stewards enquired into an incident rounding the final bend involving Future Proof, ridden by J.P. O'Sullivan, placed fourth, Staging Post, ridden by D. King, placed second, and Alphonse Le Grande, ridden by P.J. Carberry, placed third, where it appeared they got tight for room. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. In his evidence, J.P. O'Sullivan stated that he received slight pressure from his outside but was not going well enough at the time to hold his position. P.J. Carberry stated that his mount slipped slighty approaching the bend causing him to drift out a fraction. D. King stated that his mount quickened up rounding the bend and he felt he did not cause any interference. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Raceday Stewards could not apportion blame to any rider and so took no further action.

C.G. O'Dwyer, rider of Sir Prince Edmond, trained by Conor O'Dwyer, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount was lame when pulled up after the final hurdle.

The Raceday Stewards requested a report from J.J.Lambe, trainer, as to the apparent improvement in form of True Destiny (GB), placed first, as compared with its recent form. J.J. Lambe reported that his charge had shown his best ability here at Sligo where the gelding had now won twice from two runs, having previously won here on the 21st October 2022 on yielding to soft ground. He added that the ease in the underfoot conditions was also a benefit to his charge. Having considered the evidence, the Raceday Stewards noted the content of the report.
