D. Egan, rider of Valiant Force (USA), trained by Robson De Aguiar, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount was restless in the stalls.

The Raceday Stewards enquired into an incident in the straight involving Valiant Force (USA), ridden by D. Egan, and Heavenly Power, ridden by B.M. Coen, where it appeared Heavenly Power got tight for room on the rail. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. D. Egan felt there wasn't much room for a horse between him and the rail and as he was on the heels of the horse on his left he couldn't make room. B.M. Coen said he received pressure when they met the running rail and he had to take back out of the gap. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Raceday Stewards took no further action.

S. Foley, rider of Lady Patrona (GB), trained by Mrs John Harrington, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount received a bit of interference at about halfway.

C.D. Hayes, rider of No Time Faults, trained by Kevin Thomas Coleman, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount was badly hampered two furlongs out.

The Raceday Stewards enquired into an incident about two furlongs from the finish involving The Scallionator, ridden by W. Joyce, Lady Patrona (GB), ridden by S. Foley, and No Time Faults, ridden by C.D. Hayes, where it appeared Lady Patrona and No Time Faults received interference when The Scallionator moved sharply right. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. W. Joyce said his mount was very green and hung right two furlongs out but he corrected his mount immediately. S.Foley said he got carried right by The Scallionator. C.D. Hayes said he received bad interference when getting pressure from his left. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Raceday Stewards took no further action.

W.M. Lordan, rider of Gazelle D'or, trained by M.C. Grassick, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount got upset in the stalls.

The Raceday Stewards reviewed an incident close to the line where it appeared Bonus Time, ridden by W.J. Lee, had to take a check. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the matter, the Raceday Stewards were satisfied that no further action was warranted.

The Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Veterinary Officer examined Sounds Great, trained by Mrs John Harrington, at the request of the Raceday Stewards and reported the animal to have knocked into herself and grazed her inside left fore fetlock in running.

S. Foley, rider of Sounds Great, trained by Mrs John Harrington, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount hung left throughout.

The following Raceday Stewards acted on behalf of the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board at this race meeting: Mr. P.F. Myerscough (Chairman), Mr. Robert Hall, Mr. John Martin-Smith, Mr. Neil McGrath, Mr. A. Ring.
