He settled beautifully. He went down to the start very free and Patrick decided to go to Plan B, which is drop in whereas we thought we were going to be in the first two or three the whole way. He changed tactics and it paid off. He got him settled and was able to use his ability then over the last two furlongs. He ran very well at Ascot (beaten a short head in the Ascot Stakes) and I think there is going to be a nice day in him on the Flat. W P Mullins, trainer

The Stewards enquired into possible interference between the last hurdle and the winning post involving Enniskerry, ridden by S.W. Flanagan, placed second and M C Muldoon, ridden by Mr P.W. Mullins, placed first, where it appeared that both horses made contact. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. In his evidence S.W. Flanagan stated that he switched his whip to his left hand and was unable to use it as M C Muldoon was lying up against his own horse in an intimidating manner. Mr P.W. Mullins stated that Enniskerry originally came out to meet his own mount and in trying to keep straight M C Muldoon moved inward but in his opinion had gained the upper hand which allowed him to stop using his whip in the closing stages. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards were of the opinion that while M C Muldoon had caused minimal interference to Enniskerry, he did not improve his finishing position as a result of this interference so they made no alteration to the Judge's placings and took no further action

S.W. Flanagan, rider of Enniskerry trained by Barry Connell, reported to the Clerk of Scales that his mount met with interference in the final furlong.
