The Stewards enquired into an incident about one furlong from the finish involving Coill Na Sionainne, ridden by Jessica Maye, One Small Step, ridden by J.A. Heffernan, Dartington, ridden by C.T. Keane, Ms Eagleton, ridden by W.J. Lee, and Dare To Flare, ridden by A.J. Slattery where it appeared that interference occurred. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. In her evidence, Jessica Maye stated that a gap opened for her mount to challenge but it closed from the inside. C.T. keane stated that his mount was a beaten horse at this point and got tightened from both sides. W.J. Lee stated that his mount quickened and lugged left until passed by Dare To Flare where his own mount got squeezed from both sides and he took a precautionary check. J.A. Heffernan stated that he received a bump from Kojin which unbalanced his mount. A.J. Slattery stated that his mount rolled in slightly and was corrected at a time when other horses were rolling out. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards were of the opinion that any interference which occurred was accidental in nature, and they took no further action.
