I’m delighted, that’s brilliant. The horse had been going really well at home but I was getting cold feet and was nervous when I got here,. I’m delighted to get the win and a bit shocked to be honest. He’s working at the beach now at home and working really well. He won well there, he was fit today. I have the licence since 2018 but we took a gap last year because we bought a farm. That’s my first runner in a year-and-a-half and hopefully it’s all systems go now. We have a few in but I could do with more supplies. If I get more tools I’ll make more masterpieces!. I’ve breakers in as well and the plan is to try and get more owners.

Owing to low lying sun, the Raceday Stewards granted permission for hurdle one to be omitted from this race
D.J. O'Keeffe, rider of Restless Son, trained by Norman Lee, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount hung right throughout and dismounted upon pulling up as he felt the horse was lame
The Raceday Stewards enquired into an incident shortly after bypassing the last hurdle involving Dunany Point, ridden by K.E Buckley, placed second, Cois Fharraige, ridden by C. Stone-Walsh, placed fifth, and Cornmarket, ridden by A.M. King, placed first, where it appeared the three horses came close together. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. C. Stone-Walsh stated that his mount backed out when the two horses came up along side him. A.M. King stated he was clear of the horses on his inner. K.E. Buckley stated that he kept a straight line and felt no contact. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Raceday Stewards were satisfied that no further action was warranted
The Raceday Stewards enquired into an incident approximately 150 yards from the finish involving Dunany Point, ridden by K.E Buckley, placed second, and Cois Fharraige, ridden by C. Stone-Walsh, placed fifth, where it appeared interference may have occurred. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. C. Stone-Walsh stated that his mount was tiring and he took a precautionary check. K.E. Buckley stated that he tried to switch back out to get a run. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Raceday Stewards were satisfied that no further action was warranted
The Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Veterinary Officer examined Restless Son, trained by Norman Lee, at the request of the Raceday Stewards and reported the animal to have grazed its left hind but to be otherwise post race normal.
