The Raceday Stewards requested a report from Padraig Roche, trainer, as to the apparent improvement in form of Outside The Door, placed first, as compared with its recent form. Padraig Roche stated that his charge had jumped poorly on his previous return after suffering a heavy fall prior to that. He concluded by stating that a better round of jumping in what he felt was a poor contest on this occasion had helped to bring about the improved performance. Having considered the evidence the Raceday Stewards noted the content of the report.
