He toughed it out. He had been second up here before and wasn't beaten far. Ben (Coen) said the last day he thought there was a day in him. It is nice that Trevor (Dalzell, owner) was here as he is a good supporter of ours. He seemed to travel much better in the race in the (first-time) cheekpieces. I've only seen it once but he went for a gap and there wasn't enough room and he had to pull out. We'll try him on the turf - there's a race for him next Friday here so we'll see how he is, it might be a bit soon. Edward Lynam, trainer

The Stewards enquired into incidents between the one furlong marker and the winning post involving Mosaaheb (GB), ridden by J.M. Sheridan, Fox Fearless (GB), ridden by S.T. McCullagh, Persian Wolf, ridden by B.M. Coen and Spirituoso (GB), ridden by James J. Doyle, where it appeared Mosaaheb (GB) drifted left towards Persian Wolf and also took the racing line of Fox Fearless (GB) which checked. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. In his evidence, S.T. McCullagh stated that his mount accelerated close to the line and had to check off the heels close to the finish when his racing line was taken. B.M. Coen stated that his mount followed Mosaaheb (GB) (J.M. Sheridan) when he began to drift left but received no interference. James J. Doyle stated that his mount which was wearing blinkers, followed Mosaaheb (GB) when he began to drift left but he straightened up close to the finish. J.M. Sheridan stated that his mount drifted left inside the final furlong without causing interference to Persian Wolf on his inner and straightened up close to the winning post. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards found J.M. Sheridan was in breach of Rule 214 in that he had ridden carelessly and having considered his record in this regard, the Stewards suspended him for one raceday and advised him to ride with more awareness.

GENERAL INFORMATION The following Raceday Stewards acted on behalf of the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board at this race meeting: Mr. C. Cunningham (Chairman), Mr. R. Macauley, Mr. M. Magnier, Mr. P.D. Matthews
