The Stewards held an enquiry following a request from M.F.Morris, trainer of Rogue Angel, to substitute the nominated rider B.J. Geraghty, with D. N. Russell, as his intended mount Road To Riches also owned by Gigginstown House Stud was withdrawn lame. M. F. Morris stated that D. N. Russell is the retained rider for Gigginstown House Stud and he wished for him to ride the horse. He further added that he only became aware on his arrival today at Cork that Road To Riches was a non runner which consequently made D. N. Russell available. M. F. Morris further informed the Stewards that B. J. Geraghty was then made aware of the request to substitute him with D. N. Russell and accepted this decision.Having considered the evidence, the Stewards allowed the substitution in this instance in accordance with the provisions of Regulation 3, but informed M.F. Morris that they were not entierly satisfied with the situation in which he found himself in and referred the matter to the Chief Executive of the Turf Club for further investigation. Mr J. McGuire, Acting Steward was not present at this enquiry. Mr Eddie Irwin, trainee Steward attended this enquiry.
