He ran well at Killarney when he was going to finish second in a good race so stepping back to a maiden today we were always hopeful. He loves that good ground and he is crying out for every yard of three miles. It was his first time running over it but we always felt he wanted it. He got a great ride, a strong ride, from Paul. He's entered for a handicap hurdle on Thursday but he won't run. I love this place and we always try and have a winner here if it is at all possible. The pressure is off now! E McNamara, trainer

Having viewed a recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards were of the opinion that the rider was in breach of Regulation 10.3(d) in that he had used his whip after the winning post had been reached.
