The Stewards enquired into possible interference between the final hurdle and the winning post involving Nell's Well, ridden by M.M. McDonagh, placed second and Priory Park, ridden by M.P. Walsh, placed first, where it appeared that the Priory Park initially bumped Nell's Well and at a later stage Nell's Well made contact with Priory Park when edging to the right. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. In his evidence M.M. McDonagh stated that his mount had received a bump on landing over the last hurdle and may have moved right a little on the run in. M.P. Walsh stated that his mount was hanging left and had swished his tail on the approach to the final hurdle, stumbled on landing and bumped Nell's Well but ran straight to the line when corrected after the jumping error. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards were of the opinion that while Priory Park had caused interference to Nell's Well in the first incident with Nell's Well causing some interference in the latter incident, Priory Park did not improve his finishing position as a result of this interference so they made no alteration to the Judge's placings and took no further action

The Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Veterinary Officer examined Kilkenny Star, trained by C.A.Murphy, at the request of the Stewards and reported the animal was struck into on her left fore fetlock and also her right fore pastern

C.A. Landers, rider of Delias Pet, trained by Timothy Doyle, reported to the Stewards' Secretaries that his mount jumped poorly during this race.
