he (Beacon Edge) had a colic at Christmas, spent nearly a week in Kildare (veterinary clinic) and he was just wasn't himself in Naas last time, but he's a fair horse. I wondered about him getting the trip but he stays. He's a very nice horse. Michael (O'Leary, owner) had it in his head that he'd go to Liverpool for the two-and-a-half mile race but he's in the Stayers. We have Diol Ker as well and we'll see what turns up in it. He was meant to go over fences this year but when we thought about what was coming out over fences we thought we might be as well staying where we are. We got it right the way it looks at the minute anyway. That was a nice prize today and a nice race to win. Noel Meade, trainer

The Stewards interviewed J.W. Kennedy, rider of Fury Road, concerning his use of the whip in the latter stages of this race. Evidence was heard from the rider concerned who stated that he gave his horse two flicks before the last and lost count but accepted that he exceeded the guidelines. Having viewed a recording of the race and considered the evidence the Stewards found the rider in breach of Reg.10.3.(g)(frequency) and having taken his record into account suspended him for 1 race day.
