The Stewards received a report from the Clerk of the Scales, Mr. P. Deegan, that W.J. Lee, rider of Morning Dew (FR), had weighed in at 1.3 lbs overweight. Evidence was heard from the rider concerned who stated that he accepted the facts presented. He added that there was heavy rain before and during this race which caused his colours and breaches to gain moisture which he informed the Stewards made a difference of .4 lbs.. Having considered the evidence, the Stewards accepted the explanation on this occasion but advised W.J. Lee to be more careful in a similar situation in the future

The Stewards requested a report from Gearoid Patrick Brouder, trainer, as to the apparent improvement in form of Brewel Hill, placed first, as compared with its recent run at Fairyhouse on the 6th July. The trainer reported that his charge was unable to handle the shorter trip of seven furlongs at Fairyhouse as it was too sharp for him. In his opinion the step back up to todays trip of one mile one furlong and one hundred and ten yards allowed him to race in his comfort zone. Having considered the evidence the Stewards noted the content of the report.
