The Raceday Stewards enquired into an incident in the closing stages of this race involving Miss Nifty, ridden by C. Geerdharry, placed second, Are You In Or Out, ridden by Sadhbh Tormey, unplaced, and Skippinandajumpin, ridden by D. Browne McMonagle, placed sixth, where it appeared Are You In Or Out ran short of room. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. C. Geerdharry stated that he had waited for a gap and only went for it when there was room but his mount leaned in on the horse on his outside. Sadhbh Tormey stated that she received pressure from both sides and was squeezed out. D. Browne McMonagle stated that he had not committed and received contact from his right which forced his mount to lean in. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Raceday Stewards did not apportion blame to any one rider and took no further action. Mr John Murphy recused himself from this enquiry.

The following Raceday Stewards acted on behalf of the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board at this race meeting:
