The Stewards received a report from the Clerk of the Scales, Mr P.L. Malone, that L. Quinlan, rider of Kilcarry View, placed first, had weighed in at 1.1lb underweight. Evidence was heard from the rider, John Patrick Ryan, trainer of Kilcarry View and the Clerk Of The Scales. P.L. Malone. The Clerk of the Scales stated that L. Quinlan was recorded at weighing out at 154.1 lbs and weighed in at 152.9 lbs which represents an underweight of 1.1 lbs from a base weight of 154 lbs. L. Quinlan, rider, agreed with the figures as given by the Clerk of the Scales and confirmed that he had witnessed the facts on the electronic board. He added that he had not changed any item from the time of weighing out and was satisfied that he had weighed in with the same equipment and was at a loss to explain the difference. John Patrick Ryan, trainer, confirmed that he did not interfere with any equipment from the time of weighing out the rider. Having considered the evidence, the Stewards were satisfied that there was a breach of Rule 231(i) where the rider did not draw the correct weight at which he weighed out and having been allowed 1 lb by the Clerk of the Scales he still was unable to draw the weight. Under the provisions of Rule 231 (i), the Stewards disqualified Kilcarry View with the amended result to now read; First; Volatile Lady, Second; Misty Mountain (USA), Third; Zalika, Fourth; Traidisiun, Fifth; Afternoonwithsusan, Sixth; Cushinstown Finest. Furthermore, the Stewards were unable to determine the cause for the loss of weight and took no action

R.P. Treacy, rider of Pass Cross trained by L.Young, reported to the Clerk of Scales that his mount never travelled in the last mile of this race.

The Stewards enquired into possible interference from the final hurdle involving Decor Irlandais (FR), ridden by C.J. Orr, placed second, Mon Storm, ridden by D.J. O'Keeffe, placed first and Pump Road, ridden by D.R. Fox, placed third, where it appeared that Pump Road ran short of room when in a challenging position.
