She deserved that as she's been knocking on the door and the bit of rain that fell helped as she does like a bit of juice in the ground. She's by Mehmas but she stays well and she's tough out. She had dropped to a nice mark. She was doing things right as a two-year-old and we thought she wasn't too bad. I thought if she brought anything like that to the races today it would make all the difference. It was a long half furlong at the finish!. She has a bit of form on the all-weather but I'd say she's probably better off on the grass and maybe she has improved for a little bit of time as well. Garvan Donnelly, trainer

The Stewards reviewed an incident about two furlongs from the finish involving Chacha Dancer, ridden by R

Whearty, placed second, Dha Leath, ridden by B.M. Coen, placed first and Clueless Hill, ridden by James J. Doyle, unplaced, where it appeared that Chacha Dancer went to the left when the whip was applied before being corrected and may have carried Dha Leath inwards. Having reviewed the recording of that part of the race and considered the matter, the Stewards were satisfied that no action was warranted

The Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Veterinary Officer examined French Company, trained by J.G.Coogan, at the request of the Stewards and reported the animal to be post race normal.
