An enquiry was held to consider interference inside the final furlong when BERLUSCA (IRE), placed third, ridden by Robert Winston, interfered with DREAM FREE, placed seventh, ridden by Danny Brock, which in turn interfered with GEALACH GHORM (IRE), unplaced, ridden by Gabriele Malune. Winston was cautioned for careless riding as he had switched left when not sufficiently clear of DREAM FREE carrying that runner off its intended line, which resulted in GEALACH GHORM (IRE) suffering a slight check. Following the race Robert Winston reported that BERLUSCA (IRE), placed third, moved poorly and hung left-handed in the home straight. The Veterinary Officer reported that a post-race examination of BERLUSCA (IRE) found the gelding to be slightly lame right fore.
