The Stewards reviewed an incident in the closing stages involving Rebellious Gale, ridden by P.J. Carberry, Tyre Kicker (FR), ridden by L.P. Dempsey and Ballyglass Beauty, ridden by K. Callaghan where it appeared Rebellious Gale momentarily ran short of room.

The Stewards requested a report from Robert Tyner, trainer, as to the apparent improvement in form of Sir Bob, placed first, as compared with its most recent run.

Having considered the evidence, the Stewards noted the explanation given.
