He has been knocking on the door and he deserved it. Thomas Cooper, trainer

The Stewards interviewed Thomas Gibney, trainer, of Circe's Island, concerning the fact that the vaccinations contained in the Passport for this horse were incorrect for the second successive occasion. In accordance with Rule 90 the Stewards ordered the withdrawal of Circe's Island and fined the trainer €350 D.E. Mullins, rider of Like It A Lot (GB), trained by Paul Nolan, reported to the Stewards' Secretaries that his mount never travelled throughout this race. The Stewards enquired into incidents between the third last and second last hurdles involving Chute Hall, ridden by R.M. Power, placed first and Zuccotti Park, ridden by G.N. Fox, placed third, where it appeared Chute Hall received interference when racing on the inside. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards were of the opinion that G.N. Fox had caused the incidents by riding improperly and suspended him for 5 racedays.
