The Stewards received a report from the Turf Club Veterinary officer, Ms Nicola O'Connor, that having examined Mutual Regard, trained by J. P. Murtagh, she noticed what appeared to be a skin condition present and stated that a veterinary certificate did not accompany the horse on entering the stable yard as is required. Evidence was heard from the trainer concerned. Having considered the evidence, the Stewards were of the opinion that the trainer was in breach of Rule 148 and ordered the withdrawal of Mutual Regard from this race and reminded him of his future responsibilities in this regard. J.P. O'Brien, rider of Cardinal Palace, trained by John Joseph Murphy, reported to the Stewards' Secretaries that his mount did not handle the ground. The Turf Club Veterinary Officer examined Erlkonig (GER), trained by Anthony Mullins, at the request of the Stewards and reported the animal to be making a respiratory noise post race.
