.That was grand. He's a bit of a square peg in a round hole, as you can see you could drive a car underneath him,. I came back from holidays last year and there was a yard of horses like that. I said 'ah lads I don't have a national hunt licence'. It's been all about time and we've had to be so patient with them. He ran well in Leopardstown and this was the only option left for him. We knew nine was way too sharp for him but heavy ground was going to play to his strengths so we took a punt. He ripped his shoe off two days and stood on a nail so hats off to my head lad Martin as it was touch and go but we got him here. This was important for a number of reasons, A I'd like him to win at three, B Colin and C going into a four-year-old carrying ten stone in maidens wasn't where I wanted to be with him. He is a four-year-old though and he's going to be a lovely horse next year, please God. The dream is still alive. Vincent bought him as a foal, which is important too, but I've warned him 'don't keep buying me these big horses as they are not what I'm about!'. It's nice that it's worked out. G M Lyons, trainer

W.M. Lordan, rider of Xchanger trained by Natalia Lupini, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount suffered interference leaving the stalls

The Stewards enquired into an incident about two furlongs from the finish involving Painters Palette, ridden by D.W. O'Connor, and Vocal Studies, ridden by K.J. Manning. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. In his evidence D.W. O'Connor stated that he was upsides Vocal Studies and just travelling ok when that animal was looking for room to get out. K.J. Manning stated that Painters Palette was fading away when he switched his own mount out to deliver a challenge. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards found that K.J. Manning was in breach of Rule 214 in that he had ridden carelessly. Having considered his record in this regard, the Stewards suspended him for one raceday
