K.G. Kennedy, rider of May Night (GB), trained by S.M.Duffy, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount was slowly away.

The Raceday Stewards reviewed an incident in the closing stages involving Shaaden, ridden by W.J. Lee, placed sixth, Fivecromwellplace, ridden by N.M. Crosse, placed second, and Port Louis, ridden by C.T. Keane, unplaced, where it appeared Fivecromwellplace momentarily drifted left for a stride into the path of Shaaden and Port Louis. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the matter, the Raceday Stewards were satisfied that no riding offence had occurred and that no further action was warranted.

The Raceday Stewards enquired into an incident whereby two large dogs appeared on the track in the home straight, as the horses were about to reach that point in the race. Evidence was heard from T. Collins trainer, who confirmed that both dogs belonged to her and apologised for the incident. She further added that she had taken her dogs for a walk off lead in what she felt was a secure area and unfortunately they had momentarily made their way onto the track. Having considered the evidence, including the frank manner in which T. Collins approached the matter and an assurance that there would be no repetition of the incident, the Raceday Stewards accepted her apology and took no further action.

The Raceday Stewards enquired into an incident very close to the line involving Molto Amichi, ridden by L.T. McAteer, placed fourth, and Mythical Rock, ridden by Gabriella Hill, placed third, where it appeared that Molto Amichi had to check. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. L.T. McAteer stated that he felt his mount had insufficient momentum to commit to the gap. Gabriella Hill stated that her mount hung slightly right but she felt she corrected it as soon as possible. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Raceday Stewards were satisfied that no further action was warranted, other than to compliment L.T. McAteer on the accuracy of his evidence.
