He was very unlucky the last day, he had a very bad trip around the outside and he just got rolling a bit too early. We freshened him up and I'm delighted as I took a chance running him over six. There was no seven-furlong race for him and it was champions finals day and I really wanted to support it because it is a good thing. Well done to Jim (Martin) and his team for putting it on. I was keen to have a runner and took a chance and it paid off. I've learned that I have options now because he is not just a seven-furlong horse as I had him pigeonholed. We will look at six and seven-furlong races on the turf but as I alluded to the last time, I am targeting the Sovereign Path in Leopardstown on Champions Weekend. It was a very fast pace up front and he (Donagh) rode with a good clock in his head and picked up the pieces. I wouldn't get carried away with the distance, as the pace did fall away and he benefitted from a very good ride. He will run on Sunday (at Naas) under the 5lb penalty. We have about 18-20 horses for the new Flat season. We need to build a bit more but we are happy with how they are running. J F Levins, trainer

W.M. Lordan, rider of No Speed Limit (FR) trained by Patrick J. McKenna, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount hung badly right in this race

J.M. Sheridan, rider of Fan Club Rules trained by Luke Comer, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount was carried a bit right in the straight

C.J. MacRedmond, rider of Eglish (GB) trained by Adrian McGuinness, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount got no clear run in the straight

D.P. McDonogh, rider of Fastman trained by John C. McConnell, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount jumped right from the starting stalls

The Stewards enquired into an incident over one furlong from the finish involving No Speed Limit (FR), ridden by W.M. Lordan, Fan Club Rules, ridden by J.M. Sheridan, Crystal Dawn, ridden by L.F. Roche and Eglish (GB), ridden by C.J. MacRedmond, where it appeared that Eglish (GB) ran short of room when trying to deliver a challenge. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. In his evidence, C.J. MacRedmond stated that he had committed for a gap, got his mounts head into the gap but it narrowed and he had to take a check. W.M. Lordan stated that his mount was hanging badly to the right and he eventually had to stop riding. J.M. Sheridan stated that No Speed Limit (Fr)(W.M. Lordan) was hanging towards his own mount but despite this he had maintained a straight course. L.F. Roche stated that his mount had veered inwards when reacting to the whip and he straightened his mount when putting his whip down. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards were of the opinion that any interference which occurred was accidental in nature, and they took no further action.
