The Stewards enquired into the running and riding of Ava Rose, ridden by D.J. McInerney, and trained by Noel W

O'Neill. Evidence was heard from the rider and trainer concerned. D.J. McInerney, stated that his mount is a very difficult individual that has always ran very keen in the past and wears a hood to help her settle. He said his instructions were to settle his mount at the rear, creep into the race and to do the best he could. He said his mount was unsettled by a delay to the stert of this race, but settled in rear and jumped well before staying on one paced past tired horses in the closing stages. Noel W. O'Neill, confirmed the instructions given and expressed his satisfaction with the ride. He outlined how difficult his charge can be to settle at all times and concluded by stating that today's run was very encouraging

The Stewards also received a report from the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Veterinary Officer, who stated that Ava Rose was found to be post race normal, but noted the animal to be very a fractious individual. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards noted the explanation offered.
