he’s a lovely young horse and ran well in the Land Rover here a year and a half ago. He was just a bit babyish last year and has really developed now. The bit of time has really stood to him and the step up in trip as well. Henry De Bromhead, trainer

The Raceday Stewards enquired into possible interference in the closing stages involving Vitorio Piel (FR), ridden by D. Meyler, placed second and Yeshil, ridden by J.J. Slevin, placed first, where it appeared that interference may have occurred. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. D. Meyler stated that his mount was carried off his line by Yeshil and subsequently lost momentum. J.J. Slevin stated that his mount leaned and lugged after the last but made every effort to straighten up. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Raceday Stewards made no alteration to the Judge’s placings and took no further action.
