The Raceday Stewards enquired into an incident inside the final three furlongs involving Lismacbryan Hill, ridden by P. McGettigan, unplaced, Whatswrongnow, ridden by J.A. Powell, unplaced and American In Paris, ridden by R. Whearty, unplaced, where it appeared that some interference had occurred. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. P. McGettigan stated that his mount rolled around under pressure but that he had made every effort to correct his mount. J.A. Powell stated that he had to move off his line for a stride or two to avoid Lismacbryan Hill

R. Whearty stated that he received some pressure from the left. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Raceday Stewards were satisfied that no further action was warranted

P. McGettigan, rider of Lismacbryan Hill, trained by Patrick Magee, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount rolled around under pressure up the home straight

Alexandra Egan, rider of Micasso, trained by Donal Kinsella, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that her mount jumped severely right leaving the stalls

T. Casey, rider of James The Second, trained by Michael Mulvany, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount reared leaving the starting stalls

The Raceday Stewards requested a report from Kevin Thomas Coleman, trainer, as to the improvement in form of Devil's Angel (GB), placed first, as compared with its recent form. Kevin Thomas Coleman reported that the ground at Naas on the 23rd March had not suited his charge. He further stated that his charge had reacted badly to blinkers whilst running at Bellewstown on the 5th April. Having considered the report, the Raceday Stewards noted the explanation offered in relation to the improvement in form.
