He’s rated 100 so I said if I went for the right type of maiden it might be better than going for a handicap. We'll definitely go for a handicap now and while he is only 430kgs, he is a hardy boy and there is great stuff in him. We might try him once in winter ground and then might give him a break but I still thing I'd like to go to Dundalk with him. I trained his mother (nine-time winner Kate Emily) and it's great for his owner/breeder Frank McNulty. Patrick J Flynn, trainer

The Stewards interviewed S.W. Flanagan, rider of Apocalypse after it appeared that his mount jumped a hurdle prior to the start of this race. Evidence was heard from the rider concerned, who accepted that this was the case, but stated that when easing his mount to view the demonstration hurdle, the animal was distracted by a runner cantering by and subsequently jumped the hurdle in the center of the track. Having considered the evidence, the Stewards were of the opinion that S.W. Flanagan was in breach of Rule 205(ii) and having considered his record, they cautioned him on this occasion
