W.J. Lee, rider of Ohh Lala trained by W. McCreery, reported to the Clerk of Scales that his mount never travelled. C.P. Hoban, rider of Ginger Muffin trained by Miss Natalia Lupini, reported to the Clerk of Scales that his mount hung left when she came off the bridle. C.D. Hayes, rider of Ace Of Arts, trained by Peter McCreery, reported to the Stewards' Secretaries that his mount made a respiratory noise. G.J. Phillips, rider of Miss Temple, trained by Gavin Cromwell, reported to the Stewards' Secretaries that his mount ran short of room and had to check over 2 furlongs out. The Stewards requested a report from Edward Lynam, trainer as to the apparent improvement in form of Louis Leroy, winner, as compared with its most recent run on August 26th at Bellewstown where he finished 7th of 10 runners, beaten 12 lengths. Ms. Aileen Lynam, authorised representative of the trainer concerned, reported that their charge benefitted from the first time application of a tongue-tie today and may have been more suited to today's galloping stiff track, and this may have brought about any apparent improvement in form. Having considered the report, the Stewards noted the explanations offered.
