Just over 24-hours on from two amended results at Thurles, Honouramongthieves became the third 'second past the post' to be promoted in two days when getting the BAR 1 Betting 'Proud Supporter Of Irish Racing' Maiden in the stewards room.

Having been held up in the early stages of the 10-furlong contest, the Cormac Farrell trained gelding came through to challenge Theorist over a furlong from home.

Both horses settled down to battle it out inside the final furlong, with the latter just doing enough to edge the verdict by a short head.

However, with the two coming together at one point close home, a stewards enquiry was called immediately after the race.

The stewards deemed that a bump the runner-up received from the winner was enough to amend the result given the narrow margin.
