The Stewards received a report from the Clerk of the Scales, Ms. J. Walsh, that D. McMonagle, rider of Malaysian, placed fourth, had weighed in at 3lbs light. Evidence was heard from the rider concerned who stated that he weighed out at 132.1 lbs with a saddle and lead bag but weighed in after the race at 129lbs. He confirmed that the lead bag was missing from his equipment post race. C. Moore, trainer of Malaysian, in his evidence admitted that he had forgotten to include the lead bag when saddling his charge and accepted full responsibility for the error

Having considered the evidence, the Stewards disqualified Malaysian under Rule 231(i) with the amended result to read as follows; First - Jaafel, Second - Leclerc(GB), Third - Ellabella, Fourth - Nyla Rua and Fifth - Patrick Street (GB). Furthermore, the Stewards were satisfied that Mr C. Moore was in breach of Rules 36(iii) and 148(i) for which they imposed on him a fine of €250 having taken his clean previous record into consideration

The Stewards interviewed J.J.G. Ryan, rider of Nyla Rua, concerning his use of the whip in closing stages of this race. Evidence was heard from the rider concerned. J.J.G. Ryan stated that he was in a tight finish but accepted he had used his whip above his shoulder height a couple of times. Having viewed a recording of the race and considered the evidence the Stewards found J.J.G. Ryan in breach of R10.3(h)in that he had used his whip above shoulder height. Having taken his clean record into account, they cautioned him on this occision. Ms Elaine O'Farrell accompanied J.J.G. Ryan at this enquiry.
