The Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Veterinary Officer examined Dramatise, trained by Joseph Patrick O'Brien, at the request of the Stewards and reported the animal to be post race normal

The Stewards received a report from the Clerk of the Scales, Mr. Hugh Hynes, that G.P. Halpin, rider of Yourartisonfire (GB), had weighed in at 1.5lbs overweight. Evidence was heard from the rider concerned who stated that he had returned from holidays last evening and realised that he had 7lbs to lose overnight to ride at the correct weight. He admitted that he had drank an amount of fluid to rehydrate as he felt that he was in need of restoring energy. Having considered the evidence, the Stewards were satisfied that G.P. Halpin was in breach of Rule 231. Having considered his previous record, the Stewards suspended G.P. Halpin for 2 racedays

S. Foley, rider of Dramatise, trained by Joseph Patrick O'Brien, reported to the Stewards' Secretaries that his mount never travelled during this race.
