he did what you'd expect him to do and is a colt that will really appreciate better ground and we'd hope to get black-type with him in the coming weeks. Distance-wise he wants seven to a mile and is a good actioned horse. He struggled a little bit when he left him down but it was a bit of inexperience and I think he's a horse who will come on considerably so I was just pleased to win with him today. D K Weld, trainer

The Stewards enquired into an incident soon after leaving the starting stalls involving Lucan Rock, ridden by Karen Kenny, unplaced and Robert E Lee, ridden by D.A. McCormack, unplaced, where it appeared that Lucan Rock stumbled when Robert E Lee was making his way across to the running rail from an outside draw. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards were of the opinion that D.A. McCormack was in breach of Rule 214 by riding carelessly causing Lucan Rock to stumble. Having taken his good previous record into consideration and the fact that Robert E Lee appeared to be a difficult ride, the Stewards cautioned D.A. McCormack

Karen Kenny, rider of Lucan Rock trained by T.G.McCourt, reported to the Clerk of Scales that her mount clipped heels soon after the start.
