We were very happy with him coming here today and he looked fantastic during the week. It took him a few races to find his form this year. He was a bit disappointing this year, it could have been the ground, but he looked fitter and had a good coat on him today. He loves this ground and will keep going for the summer. He could go to Galway. Adrian Murray, trainer

The Raceday Stewards received a report from Ms. J. Taylor, Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Veterinary Officer, that Nawraq, trained by Kevin M Smith, was found to be a gelding and not a colt as shown on the passport presented. Having considered the report the Raceday Stewards fined Kevin M. Smith €130 in accordance with the provisions of Rule 148(xii) The Raceday Stewards enquired into the start of this race involving Mr Chester, ridden by Cian Cullinan, unplaced, and She's No Fool, ridden by G.B. Noonan, unplaced, where it appeared both horses lost considerable ground at the start. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned and the I.H.R.B starter Mr. J. Banahan. Mr. J. Banahan stated that he was aware of Mr Chester being difficult and when he felt Mr Chester and She's No Fool had joined the remaining pack he let them go. Cian Cullinan stated his mount was very reluctent to line up and planted himself as the tape was dropped. G.B. Noonan stated that he was looking for an extra second or two to join the group as he was not entirely happy the way he was facing and as a result he lost ground at the start. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Raceday Stewards took no further action
