Gordons Aura had to do all the hard work in front. Coming off his last run we were hopeful that he'd be bang there and he was. It was a good performance. For a horse that's after having a couple of runs he was taking a good look in front but in fairness to him, when it got down to the nitty gritty he dug deep. Gordon Elliott, trainer

Martin stated that it was the filly's first run and she had done plenty but wasn't great to jump, he stated the instructions were to drop her in , get her jumping and to come home well. P.J. Carberry, confirmed the instructions, he also stated that the slow early pace led to a sprint finish and his filly was green and outpaced and he was setting her up for her hurdles. The Raceday Stewards also received a report from the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Veterinary Officer who stated that Young Lucy was post race normal.
