We were disappointed with the favourite obviously but delighted with this horse,. He's a lovely kind honest horse and showed it there. The second horse headed him but he battled back and showed a really good attitude. We'll go easy with him and see how he comes out of the race. We'll probably look for a nice handicap with him in a month or six weeks. He set a fair pace and there was no hiding places for anyone. D K Weld, trainer

The Raceday Stewards enquired into an incident between the 2 and the 3 furlong markers involving Cuban Dawn, ridden by R.P. Cleary, placed second, and Wayside Lady, ridden by A.J. Slattery, unplaced, where it appeared interference may have occurred. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. R.P. Cleary stated that the horse in front of him changed legs and went left for a stride which opened a gap for him to go through. He further added that he felt slight contact as he was holding his ground. A.J. Slattery stated that he was returning to his racing line after being carried off it when Cuban Dawn came through on his inner. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Raceday Stewards did not apportion blame to any rider and they took no further action
