The Stewards requested a report from Ray Hackett, trainer, as to the apparent improvement in form of Rock On Bennie, placed first, as compared with its recent form. Liam Hackett, Authorised representative for Ray Hackett, reported that their charge reappeared after a layoff when running at Limerick on the 31st March but the filly got a fright at the first hurdle and this appeared to have affected her confidence and she never got into contention. On her most recent run at Tipperary on the 23rd May she was ridden up with the pace but ran too free. Today the filly was held up which allowed her to finish her race on underfoot conditions that also were to her liking. In his opinion the filly was not the most genuine but everything appeared to happen in her favour today. Having considered the evidence the Stewards noted the content of the report
