The Raceday Stewards enquired into possible interference in the closing stages involving Annamix (FR), ridden by Mr P.W. Mullins, placed first, and Nice To Meet, ridden by Mr T. Power Roche, placed second, where it appeared they may have come close on the run in. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. Mr. T. Power Roche stated that his mount was lugging right on the run in. Mr. P. W. Mullins stated that the runner up was leaning on him before the last and on the run in.
