R.J. Condon, rider of Aegirine trained by Eugene M. O'Sullivan, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount clipped a heel after jumping the second last. The Raceday Stewards reviewed the incident and were satisfied that no further action was warranted.

B. Hayes, rider of Realism trained by Joseph Patrick O'Brien, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount made a very bad mistake at the last.

The Raceday Stewards requested a report from Martin Brassil, trainer as to the apparent improvement in form of Longhouse Poet, placed first, as compared with its recent form.

Having considered the evidence the Raceday Stewards noted the content of the report.
