From what I could see it looked like he jumped great. Paul just thought he was getting a bit tired the last day and jumped left. I'm happy with him and I'd imagine he will take up some engagement at Cheltenham after that, we'll see whether he goes for the RSA or the Marsh Chase. I'll have a word with Paul and see what he says. At least that is job done, it's a bit later in the season than we thought but it's done. I doubt he'd run again before Cheltenham. I'll have a chat with connections but I wouldn't think so unless Paul thought he needs another day out. W P Mullins, trainer

The Stewards interviewed Philip Fenton, trainer of Atlantic Shore, concerning the conduct of his charge who refused to line up for the start of this race. The Stewards advised Philip Fenton that as this was the second time his charge was unruly at the start of a race, a repeat of such behaviour could render his charge liable to a future sanction. Mr.C.P. Magnier, Acting Steward, absented himself from this enquiry

The Stewards interviewed Mr. J.R. Banahan, Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Starter, in relation to the false start in this race. Evidence was heard from Mr. J.R. Banahan, who stated that Atlantic Shore, ridden by P.E

Corbett and trained by Mr. P. Fenton, was unruly at the start and refused to line up. Mr. J.R. Banahan withdrew Atlantic Shore. However as he did so Atlantic Shore ran on and joined the back of the field and Mr. Banahan, unaware that the announcement had been made that the horse had been withdrawn, was immediately informed of this fact and called a false start. Having considered the evidence, the Stewards reminded Mr. J.R. Banahan of his future responsibilities.
