The Stewards enquired into the running and riding of Sweet Will, ridden by J.M. Moore and trained by Gavin Cromwell. Evidence was heard from the rider and trainer's representative concerned. Feidhlim Cunningham, Authorised representative for Gavin Cromwell,trainer, stated that the rider was instructed to take his time early on and get the horse to finish as he had run a very disappointing race on the last occasion at Sligo. He expressed his satisfaction with the ride as the horse shows nothing in his homework. He confirmed that this horse was a clean sound horse to train. J.M. Moore, rider, confirmed the instructions and stated that the race developed from the fifth last hurdle and he began to squeeze his mount from that point and kept a hold of his head without getting hard on him as he was concerned about the manner in which the horse had failed to perform at Sligo. He expressed his satisfaction with his mounts performance as he had run better than previously. The Stewards also received a report from the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Veterinary Officer who stated that Sweet Will had an overreach on his left fore and furthermore was clinically abnormal.
