I’ve been trying to win this Jack Tyner-race for a long time as I knew Jack when he was riding, so it means a lot to win the race. Jack never rode for me but I often walked the point-to-point tracks in the north with him and his father Robert. They are a lovely family and he was a lovely lad. Journey With Me has been disappointing but my horses were sick from December to the end of January, and he was one of the sickest. He had run under a cloud since and I don’t think the heavy ground suited either. Often with these horses who were once high-class, they would have gone through a tough time to be high-class and it takes a pile to get them back. I’m just delighted to get him back and I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw that today’s race was over 2m4f. His Oldtown form in February had been rubbished but it has actually worked out well. He was bought to race in Aintree’s Foxhunters but we couldn’t get him there and while we will probably run in Punchestown now, I’d say three-miles isn’t really his distance. Hopefully he’ll go to Aintree next year. D M Christie, trainer

The Raceday Stewards received a report from the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Clerk of the Scales, regarding the fact that Mr S.J. Kenny, rider of In Excelsis Deo (FR), placed sixth, weighed in at 159.6lbs having weighed out at 161.0lbs, meaning he was 1.4lbs light. Evidence was heard from the rider concerned who stated that he had lost his non slip pad at some stage and was unaware it was missing when weighing in. Having considered the evidence the Raceday Stewards disqualified In Excelsis Deo (FR) in accordance with the provisions of Rule 231(i) (weighed in more than 1lbs light) and having considered his clean record in this regard, The Raceday Stewards cautioned Mr S.J. Kenny on this occasion
