The last day at the Curragh I figured out seven furlongs on a straight line doesn’t suit him. He loves whipping around a bend and we’d a lovely draw today, so I said to Luke to make plenty of use of him. When he got stuck into him, he really put his head down and finished out well. James M Barrett, trainer

S. Coen, rider of Distillate (GB), trained by Adrian McGuinness, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount was badly hampered on the first bend

Adam Caffrey, rider of Comfort Line, trained by Adrian McGuinness, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount was badly hampered on the first bend

A.J. Casey, rider of Reponse Finale, trained by Liam Casey, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount didn't handle the first bend

The Raceday Stewards enquired into an incident on the first bend involving Distillate (GB), ridden by S. Coen, Comfort Line, ridden by Adam Caffrey, Rene Artois, ridden by Rebecca Parsons, and Reponse Finale, ridden by A.J. Casey where it appeared numerous horses came close together. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned

A.J. Casey stated that his mount threw his head in the air approaching the bend and became difficult. Adam Caffrey stated that he received a bump from his inside. Rebecca Parsons stated that the gap closed and she got pushed back. S. Coen stated that it got congested from his inside. 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

The Raceday Stewards reviewed an incident approximately two furlongs from home involving Prince Of Eyeries, ridden by L.T. McAteer, placed first, and Tofino, ridden by G.F. Carroll, placed third, where it appeared contact was made between the two. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the matter, the Raceday Stewards were satisfied that no further action was warranted

The Raceday Stewards received a report from the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Starter, Mr. J.R. Banahan, that when he pushed the start button to open the stalls, they failed to open on the first attempt. Having checked that all riders and horses were ok, he proceeded to start the race and the stalls opened. He further informed the Stewards the stalls seemed to be in working order and they would be tested again prior to the second race. Having considered the matter, the Raceday Stewards were satisfied that a technical fault had occurred and no further action was warranted.
