Permission was given for Under Siege (IRE) to wear a red hood to post.

Approximately ½ a furlong after the start, a hard pulling Under Siege (IRE), placed second, shifted quickly right-handed, hampering Dark Tornado (IRE), placed third, which was taken off its intended line, but after viewing a recording of the incident, it was found that no riding offence was involved and that it had not improved the placing of Under Siege (IRE).

An enquiry was held to consider interference approximately 1 ½ furlong from the line, involving Dark Tornado (IRE), placed third, ridden by John Egan; Under Siege (IRE), placed second, ridden by Daniel Tudhope; and Longhaired General (IRE), placed sixth, ridden by Tom Eaves.

Egan was suspended for 3 days for careless riding as he allowed his mount to drift left-handed without sufficient correction, firstly causing Eaves to take a check for several strides, and then continuing to drift left-handed bumping Tudhope and carrying him off his intended line.

Approximately ½ a furlong from the line, Under Siege (IRE), placed second, lugged quickly right- handed, lightly bumping Dark Tornado (IRE), placed third, but after viewing a recording of the incident, it was found that no riding offence was involved and that it had not improved the placing of Under Siege (IRE).
