The Stewards enquired into the running and riding of Molly Wedger, ridden by B. Hayes, and trained by Dermot P

O'Brien. Evidence was heard from the trainer and rider concerned. Dermot P. O'Brien, trainer, stated that B. Hayes had ridden this filly on the last occasion and today he instructed him to get her settled and to do his best. He advised the Stewards that this filly had always been under his care and that she was not clear winded but resented a tongue strap when it was tried previously. He was satisfied with the ride. B. Hayes, rider, stated that he was mindful of the opposition and had a game plan but his mount got keen on the downhill run on the first circuit and he took her back to get cover. He added that his mount was still keen going out on the last circuit but made a respiratory noise at the top of the hill before gathering herself and running on past tired horses on the run to the finish. He felt that he had achieved his best possible placing. The Stewards also received a report from the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Veterinary Officer who stated that Molly Wedger was post race normal. Samples were taken for analysis. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards noted the explanations and took no further action R. Deegan, rider of Belles Benefit trained by S. Curling, reported to the Clerk of Scales that his mount raced keen the whole way.
