For jumping Haxo deserved to win that and that's what won it for him in the end,. He's a second season novice and jumped really well. He's a nice type and he looks a real chaser in the making. Sir Argus, I think, just lost his confidence after his fall (when in front two out) the last day in Clonmel. He's done plenty of schooling at home but on the racecourse he seems to have lost his confidence. We'll have to keep him schooling and try to get him back right. W P Mullins, trainer

P. Townend, rider of Sir Argus (GB), trained by W.P. Mullins, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount jumped indifferently

The Raceday Stewards requested a report from W.P. Mullins, trainer, as to the apparent improvement in form of Haxo (FR), placed first, as compared with its most recent run. W.P. Mullins stated that his charge ran too freely on heavy ground at Limerick after a long break but settled much better today and this coupled with a good round of jumping and helped to bring about the apparent improvement in form. Having considered the evidence the Raceday Stewards noted the content of the report.
