I was wondering would I get any winner here, but it was great to win because the horses have been under the weather for the last few weeks. This fella just seemed to come right at the right time, I thought he was unlucky on Thursday night. Paul said he travelled everywhere and he jumped great. It was his first run in a handicap and in fairness it was a good performance to do that around here. He is a good tough horse, and he is improving with time. He will probably go to Listowel now, and I still think there is a two mile maiden on the flat in him. He got the job done today and that’ll keep the lads (owners the South East Racing Club) happy. Eoin Doyle, trainer

Evidence was heard from the trainer concerned. Having considered the evidence, the Stewards found the trainer in breach of Rules 148 and 194 with regard to the declaration of a penalty and having taken his record into account imposed a fine of ?130.
