she got a bit of a knock after Leopardstown and had to have a bit of time off. Her owner (Zoe Casbolt) took her home and did a good job in getting everything right again. She broke well and got a soft lead. Shane gave her a lovely ride and everything worked out grand. She had some form last year (over six furlongs) and we would have started her over seven on Monday but got balloted out. We got in here and said we’d chance it although I thought she’d need the run. Hopefully there will be another day in her. Shane Nolan, trainer

The Stewards requested a report from Shane Nolan, trainer, as to the apparent improvement in form of Miss Sassyboots, placed first, as compared with her most recent run. Shane Nolan reported that his charge ran most disappointingly at Leopardstown on the 9th June and made her reappearance today fitted with cheekpieces to help her to concentrate. He also contributed to her fast break from stalls today and her known preference for this racing surface to be further contributing factors to the improved performance. Having considered the evidence the Stewards noted the content of the report

The Stewards enquired into an incident in the straight involving Muraahin (GB), ridden by Kyanna Van Buuren, Three Sevens, ridden by A.J. Slattery, Knock Flyer, ridden by M.P. Sheehy, and Irish Ambassador, ridden by G.M

Ryan, where it appeared Muraahin (GB) drifted towards the inside where Three Sevens and Irish Ambassador appeared to check. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. Kyanna Van Buuren gave her evidence in the presence of John C. McConnell, Trainer. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards found Kyanna Van Buuren in breach of Rule 214 (Careless Riding) and having taken her record into account suspended her for 3 race days and referred her to R.A.C.E. for 1 day

The Stewards enquired into an incident just after the finish line involving Miss Sassyboots, ridden by S.M. Crosse, Kudbegood, ridden by Siobhan Rutledge, and Gormanston, ridden by S.M. Mooney, where it appeared Kudbegood appeared to stumble and almost unseat his rider. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards took no further action other than to advise S.M

Crosse and Siobhan Rutledge to ride with more awareness in future

G.M. Ryan, rider of Irish Ambassador trained by Sarah Lynam, reported to the Clerk of Scales that his mount was short of room in the first furlong of this race.
