The Stewards enquired into an incident close to the finish involving Laughifuwant, ridden by G.F. Carroll, unplaced, Up Helly Aa, ridden by W.J. Lee, unplaced, Rocket Science, ridden by D.P. McDonogh, placed fourth and April Showers, ridden by G.M. Ryan, placed second, where it appeared that Up Helly Aa was tight for room

Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. In his evidence G.F. Carroll stated that his run was at an end when there was slight movement from horses both sides of him and he took a slight check. W.J. Lee stated that his mount had no more to offer when racing room got tight. D.P. McDonogh stated that his mount went left and he switched his whip and corrected his mount. G.M. Ryan stated that in his opinion his mount did not contribute to any interference. The riders expressed that the race was run at a slow pace and the runners bunched in the closing stages. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards took no further action

Mr. S. McDonogh, Acting Steward, absented himself from this enquiry.
