She has been competitive in these handicaps at this level before and it was nice that everything fell right for her today. Luckily enough she got in as a reserve and Killian (Leonard) gave her a lovely spin around. He got a lovely position from a bad draw and she stayed on well. He said she battled well to the line. Hopefully the handicapper will be kind and we'll find another race for her at this sort of level and trip. I'd say that's her trip and we'll see how it goes over the winter. Natalia Lupini, trainer

G.M. Ryan, rider of Tara Power trained by Keith Henry Clarke, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount got a few bumps in the straight

R.P. Whelan, rider of Ragtime Red trained by Anthony McCann, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount was slowly away from the starting stalls

Carroll, Tara Power, ridden by G.M. Ryan, Celtic Revival, ridden by B.M. Coen, Gemini Man, ridden by N.G

McCullagh and Lily Of The Glen, ridden by K.J. Leonard, where it appeared the runners got tight for room

Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. In his evidence, G.F. Carroll stated that his mount got tightened from both sides and he hadn't the pace to hold his position. N.G. McCullagh stated that his mount hung left when challenging and got pressure from both sides. G.M. Ryan stated that he rode a wide berth but the other horses all came out towards the stand side. K.J. Leonard stated that his mount was drifting right and going forward and in his opinion he was clear of the other runners and did not cause any interference. B.M. Coen stated that his mount was tiring and lugged right but the other horses quickened past him on both sides. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards took no further action

GENERAL INFORMATION The following Raceday Stewards acted on behalf of the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board at this race meeting: Dr. P. Molony (Chairman), Ms. M. Cosgrave, Mr. P. Stewart, Mr. P.D. Deegan

The Stewards considered a written request from Kevin O'Ryan, Authorised Riders' Agent to allow substitutions for his client D. McMonagle on his three nominated rides today as he was unavailable. In the submission, Kevin O'Ryan stated that he had known that D. McMonagle was riding in France today but he completely forgot when nominating him on three horses for today, only realising his error after the deadline for nominations of riders under Rule 195(i). He added that he had notified the three trainers that had been inconvenienced and apologised to everybody involved for his error. Having considered the written submission, the Stewards allowed D. McMonagle to be replaced in Race 3 by M.P. Sheehy on Numoor, Race 5 by J.A. Heffernan on Chevillon and Race 8 by G.F

Carroll on Mosaaheb. In view of Kevin O'Ryan's previous record, the Stewards referred this matter to a Senior Racing Official for further investigation
