he (Gee Rex) has been disappointing over hurdles and has been slow out of the stalls. Both of those things were out of the way today - they were two big things that were holding him back. It was great to come here and get that opportunity and take advantage of it. I told him to make the running but they went a fair gallop early doors and Mike was good to just take a lead for as long as he could. He got to the front then and just battled off all comers. It was a good run from Zero Ten in second under a big weight. Emmet Mullins, trainer

At the request of the Stewards, J.A. Heffernan, rider of Zero Ten, trained by Emmet Mullins, reported to the Stewards' Secretaries that his mount could not handle the track

The Stewards requested a report from Emmet Mullins, trainer, as to the apparent improvement in form of Gee Rex, placed first, as compared with its recent run at Galway on 31st July. Emmet Mullins reported that his charge was generally never fast out of stalls and today he benefited from the tape start by jumping off a lot handier and racing up with the pace. Having considered the evidence the Stewards noted the content of the report

L.F. Roche, rider of Greenpanda trained by Gavin Cromwell, reported to the Clerk of Scales that his mount hung left from about five furlongs out
