It was deserved. He was a bit unlucky the last day as he was green and backward. I’ve had three seconds in the last ten days so I’m delighted to get a winner. He’s a nice type of horse and will jump a fence in time. Nigel Thomas Slevin, trainer

The Stewards enquired into an incident both before and after the final hurdle involving Whenurgoodurgood, ridden by C.J. Orr, placed first and Westmead, ridden by S.W. Flanagan, placed second, where it appeared that both horses got close together and made contact. 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 Westmead was a difficult ride and consequently gave S. Flanagan the benefit of the doubt. In the circumstances the Stewards took no further action.
