The Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Veterinary Officer examined Jakoby, trained by Noel Meade, at the request of the Stewards and reported the animal to have lost the right fore shoe and to be otherwise post race normal.

J.P. O'Sullivan, rider of Last One trained by P.J. Rothwell, reported to the Clerk of Scales that his mount jumped poorly throughout.

At the request of the Stewards, M. Hamill, rider of Hillview Heidi, trained by John Joseph Hanlon, reported to the Stewards' Secretaries that his mount never travelled, had no more to give and was pulled up thereafter.

170D Neville Hotels Beginners S'chase

170E J Donohoe BMW S'chase

At the request of the Stewards, B. Hayes, rider of Fenlon's Hill, trained by Paul Stafford, reported to the Stewards' Secretaries that his mount empties quickly and with this in mind was rode to keep him on the bridle for as long as possible.

170F Crown Bar H'cap S'chase

The Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Veterinary Officer examined Theatre Run, trained by M.A.Cahill, at the request of the Stewards and reported the animal to be post race normal.

The Stewards requested a report from J. Morrison, trainer, as to the apparent improvement in form of Arch Melody, placed first, as compared with its recent form. Darren Pratt, authorised representative for the trainer, reported that his charge had disappointed on its previous run when racing too prominently. He felt a combination of a change in tactics today and running in a handicap for the first time, may have helped to bring about the apparent improvement in form. Having considered the report, the Stewards noted the explanation offered.
