C.D. Hayes, rider of Count Of Carabass trained by Miss Hilary McLoughlin, reported to the Clerk of Scales that his mount jumped awkwardly from stalls

The Stewards enquired into the apparent improvement in form of Rattling Jewel (GB), trained by J.J.Lambe, placed first, compared with its recent form. Evidence was heard from the trainer concerned who stated that his charge won this race last year and today he had a very capable 7 lb claiming rider on board. J.J. Lambe stated that his charge has not won since last year and since then he has had mixed form, he has tried different forms of headgear, which have not worked, and he has not been able to establish consistent running tactics. Regarding today's run, there was an ease in the ground which suited his charge, he had dispensed with all headgear and this combined with a favourable draw helped to bring about an improvement in form. J.J. Lambe also added that he has changed horse feed in the last week which may also have been beneficial to his charge. Evidence was also heard from the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Rules of Racing Handicapper, Mr. G. O'Gorman, who stated that Rattling Jewel has been dropped 20lbs in the last year and he noted that on previous runs he has started slowly compared with today's run where he was pushed on more prominently from the start. Having considered the evidence the Stewards noted the explanation offered.
