I thought Ferdia would beat him but Danny gave the winner a super ride. So too did Philip (Donovan, on runner-up Ferdia) and both horses ran blinders. Ferdia is only a six year old and won his maiden hurdle this time last year so is a year behind The Dara Man. The Dara Man had lots of little issues which we appear to have got on top of, and looks a fair horse going forward. He'll run in those novice chases for the summer and will go to Galway. Ferdia is declared for Tipperary on Sunday and could well appear. John Patrick Ryan, trainer

The Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Veterinary Officer examined Defan (GB), trained by Henry de Bromhead, at the request of the Stewards and reported the animal to be post race normal

The Stewards requested a report from John Patrick Ryan, trainer, as to the apparent improvement in form of The Dara Man, placed first, as compared with its recent form. The trainer reported that his charge had wind issues in the past and appreciated today's "Good" ground. He added that his charge won at Limerick on the 27th March and went up 13lbs since. In relation to the run at Ballinrobe on 31st May, he expressed disappointment with that performance but noted that his charge was not right in his coat. He advised that his charge was unable to handle the "Heavy" ground conditions at Listowel on the 6th June and most recently over hurdles at Sligo on the 10th July, his charge was prominent when making a mistake at the bottom of the hill which knocked him back but still stayed on to be beaten six lengths. Having considered the evidence the Stewards noted the content of the report

At the request of the Stewards, D.J. O'Keeffe, rider of Defan (GB), trained by Henry de Bromhead, reported to the Stewards' Secretaries that his mount failed to pick up after the turn into the straight.
