W.M. Lordan, rider of Ashtaroth (GB), trained by T. Stack, reported to the Stewards' Secretaries that his mount struggled in this race, this being her first run in a handicap having only run once previously. The Turf Club Veterinary Officer examined Ashtaroth (GB), trained by T. Stack, at the request of the Stewards and reported the animal to be post race normal. The Stewards requested a report from W. McCreery, trainer, as to the apparent improvement in form of Kanes Pass, placed first, as compared with her previous run at Leopardstown 11th May 2014. W. McCreery, trainer, reported that this filly disappointed at Leopardstown for no apparent reason. Consequently the filly was given a break and was allowed to freshen up which he felt was his only valid reason for the improved run today. Having considered the evidence the Stewards noted the content of the report.
