The Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Veterinary Officer examined Harley Street, trained by Joseph Patrick O'Brien, at the request of the Raceday Stewards and reported the animal to be blowing hard post race. Samples were taken for analysis.

At the request of the Raceday Stewards, S.W. Flanagan, rider of Downtherefordancin (GB), trained by Gavin Cromwell, reported to the Stewards' Secretaries that his mount did not handle the ground, was changing his legs but came home well.

P.J. O'Hanlon, rider of Dovlator, trained by Dermot Anthony McLoughlin, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount never travelled.

Rachael Blackmore, rider of Spirit Of Legend (FR), trained by Henry de Bromhead, reported to the Stewards' Secretaries that her mount settled and jumped well but didn't pick up in the later stages.

S.W. Flanagan, rider of Tuckmill, trained by Peter Fahey, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount was pulled up having burst a blood vessel.

The Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Veterinary Officer examined Tuckmill, trained by Peter Fahey, at the request of the Raceday Stewards and reported the animal to have blood at both nostrils post race.

G.B. Noonan, rider of Mister Rocket Man, trained by Patrick J. F. Hassett, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount stopped quickly.

D.P. Maxwell, rider of Nailed Down, trained by V.C.Ward, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount pulled up lame.

The Raceday Stewards ordered the withdrawal of Brideswell Lad, trained by Seamus Neville, for failing to present the horse for identification to an Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Official in accordance with the provisions of Rule 90 (i).

The Raceday Stewards received a report from the Clerk of the Scales, Mr. D. Maher, that J.G. Gilligan, rider of Ballycastle Girl, had weighed in at 1.3 lbs overweight. Evidence was heard from the rider concerned who stated that he was unable to account for the overweight and felt that the excess sweat from the horse had been absorbed by the saddle pad. Having considered the evidence, the Raceday Stewards were satisfied that J.G. Gilligan was in breach of Rule 231 by weighing in more than 1 lb above the correct weight. Having taken his previous record into consideration, the Raceday Stewards suspended J.G. Gilligan for two racedays.

The Raceday Stewards interviewed D.J. O'Keeffe, rider of Alko Rouge (FR), trained by Thomas Gibney, concerning his fall at the final fence. Evidence was heard from the rider concerned who stated that his mount had got in tight to the second last fence but did not feel legless going to the final fence where he fell. He added that he had asked his mount for a big jump at the last fence but in hindsight he made an error and should have sat. He reminded the Raceday Stewards that he was a very experienced rider and would have pulled up if he felt that his mount was tired. Having viewed the recording and considered the evidence, the Raceday Stewards were of the opinion that D.J. O'Keeffe's riding was in breach of Rule 272 whereby he acted in a manner which was prejudicial to the integrity, proper conduct or good reputation of horse racing. Having taken his clean previous record into consideration, the Raceday Stewards cautioned D.J. O'Keeffe on this occasion.

Mr C.P. Tierney, rider of Ostend, trained by Peter Croke, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount clipped a heel with no blame attached to any other rider. The Raceday Stewards reviewed the video recording of this incident and were satisfied that no further action was warranted.
