That's his third win for the year and he handles that ground well,. We're toying with stepping him up in trip and we might do that. He likes a good galloping track. He's in a couple of times next week and we'll see about that, see how much he goes up. We tried a mile-and-a-half once in Dundalk but I don't think he was quite right that day so we can discard that and we might give him another go. He's a very straight-forward consistent horse. Charles O'Brien, trainer

The Stewards informed John James Feane, trainer that Lyfka (GB), would have to be recertified before being declared to run from stalls again

The Stewards enquired into possible interference inside the final furlong involving New Direction, ridden by G.M

Ryan, placed second and Nimitz, ridden by K.J. Leonard, placed first, where it appeared that interference may have occurred. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards made no alteration to the Judge's placings and took no further action
