I'm delighted with that. He had a lovely run in Galway, he stayed on and John gave him a lovely ride there and minded him,. I was a little bit worried that it had gone too quick for him today but to be fair they put plenty of water on it. I walked it and was happy enough. John gave him another lovely ride and I'm delighted for the owner Martin Cooney, it's his first horse with me. He ran well in a point-to-point but we put him away for a while and gave him a chance to develop. He should make a nice hurdler and will go with an ease in the ground. We might see what is in Listowel for him, there might be a winners bumper there. Martin will be going down there so we'll probably pitch him in there. Denis Gerard Hogan, trainer

The Stewards enquired into an incident in the closing stages involving Haddock De Grissay (FR), ridden by Mr E

Middleton, Lake Winnipesaukee, ridden by Mr. J. Dunne, Song For My Father, ridden by Mr. J.J. O'Neill, and Champagnesocialist, ridden by Mr. L.D. Andrews, where it appeared that Haddock De Grissay ran short of room

Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. Mr. E. Middleton, stated that he suffered interference and had to check his mount. Mr. J.J. O'Neill, stated that he suffered interference from his outside. Mr. J. Dunne stated that his mount was on the outside, but felt he had left enough room for those on his inner. Mr. L.D. Andrews, stated that his mount moved inwards and accepted that he had failed to make a correction. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards were satisfied that Mr. L.D.
