Gary rode a fantastic race because I think the horse is best at a mile-and-two but he was in such rude form on Tuesday we decided to run,. We thought there would be a fast pace in the race and with €75,000 on offer we thought we'd take our chance. The only thing that worried me last night was the way Shekiba ran because she was working very well. I was a little bit disappointed with her last night but fillies can do that at times. This horse showed what he's doing at home and that's why we are here. He likes a box seat and has more gears than you think. He's versatile ground-wise, it's immaterial to him. We had Galway as the plan but that rules that out now. I suppose we'll have to stay Listed now or that calibre and take it from there. Don't be surprised if in a year's time you see him over hurdles as the owners love hurdle racing. I doubt it but we'll see as he's a very versatile horse. He's a horse that performs on the big day and they are the ones you want. Joseph G Murphy, trainer

The Stewards enquired into possible interference in the closing stages involving Flight Risk, ridden by K.J

Manning, placed fifth, Nebo, ridden by W.J. Lee, placed sixth and Wisdom Mind, ridden by D. O'Brien, placed seventh, where it appeared Flight Risk drifted towards the stands when challenging. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards were satisfied that Flight Risk had caused interference to Wisdom Mind and in doing so had improved his finishing position. The Stewards therefore reversed the Judge's placings of the fifth and sixth placed horses and took no further action.
