We fancied her the last day and she ran stink. We found out that she had an entrapped epiglottis and she had an operation for it. That explains the improvement,. She got a lovely run down the inner and she gave her a lovely ride. I’m hoping she’ll improve from that, I don’t think she was fully straight today and she said she had a blow at the furlong pole. The handicapper can’t do much to her for that. Andrew Slattery, trainer

J. Kearney, rider of Neon Eyes, trained by Gavin Cromwell, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount ran keen to the first bend and then got tight for room

R.M Mulligan, rider of Honey Dale, trained by Paul Mulligan, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that he had to take a check at the first bend

The Raceday Stewards enquired into an incident on the first bend involving Neon Eyes, ridden by J. Kearney, Beau Army, ridden by Reese Holohan, Cause I Like You, ridden by W. Joyce, and Honey Dale, ridden by R.M Mulligan where it appeared Neon Eyes did not corner well and may have caused interference. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. J. Kearney stated that he was taking back going into the bend but his mount was very awkward and dived left. Reese Holohan stated that he landed up on heels and lost momentum. W. Joyce stated that he maintained his line around the bend and left plenty of room on his inner. R.M. Mulligan stated that he received pressure going into the bend and had to take a check. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Raceday Stewards did not apportion blame to any rider and took no further action

GENERAL INFORMATION The following Raceday Stewards acted on behalf of the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board at this race meeting: Mr Rupert Macauley (Chairman), Ms Denise Brophy, Mr Peter G. Deane, Mr L. Aspell
