Lordan, placed fifth, Molly's Gamble, ridden by M.A. Enright, unplaced, and Whirling Dervish (GB), ridden by D.W.

Kearney stated that he received pressure from his outside. W. M. Lordan stated that his mount shifted in and changed legs when it passed the horse on its inner but he thought he was clear. M. A. Enright stated that his mount met with interference from the outside. D. W. O'Connor stated that he took a precautionary check. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Raceday Stewards found W. M.
