Danny gave him a great ride and he stayed on nicely. Probably the step up to a mile won't do him any harm. He is tough and genuine. We hope to compete in premier handicaps with him, he seems to be shaping up that way. He started well in Gowran Park when he was second first time out and in the Curragh he just didn't seem to handle the soft ground. He seems to like nice ground. He seems to have handled the surface okay so we'll speak to the owner and see what the plan is. The horses are running well so hopefully it will continue for another while. Natalia Lupini, trainer

J.A. Powell, rider of Carslake (GB) trained by Aengus King, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount got upset in the starting stalls and missed the break

S.T. McCullagh, rider of Luck Of The Dice trained by A. Oliver, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount never travelled during this race

The Stewards wished to interview C.J. MacRedmond, rider of Carnival Girl (GB), concerning his use of the whip in this race. As the rider had departed from the racecourse within the ten minutes of the "Winner All Right" announcement [Rule 229(v)], the Stewards referred these matters to a Senior Racing Official for further investigation

The Stewards interviewed D.J Gilligan, rider of Lecale's Destiny, concerning his use of the whip in the latter stages of this race. Evidence was heard from the rider concerned . In his evidence, D.J Gilligan stated that his mount was lugging out early in the straight and he used his whip in his backhand in front of the saddle for corrective purposes

Having viewed a recording of the race and considered the evidence the Stewards accepted D.J Gilligan's explanation by allowing the early use of the whip for corrective purposes and deemed that the remaining use of the whip did not breach the provisions of R10(3). At this enquiry, D.J Gilligan was accompanied by Kevin Borthwick.
