| 1 | 2 | ROYAL ARMY (CB103) | C Williams | SR | In 7th 4Ls off pace and 2-wide at 1000 M, switching into clear out 4-wide entering straight when 5Ls off pace, 1L down at 200 M, led 50 M out, pushed out. |
| 2 | 9 | CORAJOSO (CB230) | G Mosse | SR/H | Much closer to pace than usual, 2-wide and 6Ls off pace in 10th at 1000 M, took closer order and 2-wide and 3Ls off pace into straight, led passing 200 M marker, overhauled only 50 M out. |
| 3 | 1 | OPERATION HUMOUR (BV111) | P H Lo | B-/SR2 | Crowded a little at start, 3 and 4-wide with cover down backstretch in midfield when about 6Ls off pace, 5-wide (widest of all) into straight, 1L down in 4th at 200 M, no extra. |
| 4 | 5 | STRATEGUS (CC050) | F Coetzee | -- | Soon led but only got to fence 950 M out, never clear by more than 1L until stretch, headed over 200 M out, kept on at same pace, narrowly missed out on a place. |
| 5 | 12 | SANBENITO (CC256) | J Quinn | B | Travelled well on fence 3Ls off pace in 6th at 1000 M, similarly placed and still going well entering stretch, short of room along fence until 150 M out, kept on at same pace once in the clear. |
| 6 | 10 | AURELIAN (CC025) | G Schofield | B | 3-wide and 2Ls off pace in 3rd at 1000 M, a neck 2nd out 2-wide off final bend, disputing lead at 300 M, half a length 3rd at 200 M, lacked pace of principals. |
| 7 | 8 | ROMANTIC SYMPHONY (BV150) | D Dunn | SR/TT | Slowly away, on fence 7Ls off speed and one from rear at 1000 M, switched out 4-wide turning for home when 6Ls down, 4Ls down in midfield at 200 M, nearest at finish. |
| 8 | 4 | HALO KING PRAWN (CB124) | W C Marwing | P/H | Prominent 2Ls off pace but caught 4-wide without cover in 4th place 1000 M out, lost place and was 3-wide and 3Ls off pace in midfield on the swing, one-paced to line. |
| 9 | 7 | OPERA MAGIC (CB404) | D Whyte | B | Had run of race on fence 2Ls off pace on fence through to home straight, 2Ls down and challenging when bumped, becoming unbalanced 300 M out, didn't recover and was too one-paced. |
| 10 | 11 | NATIVE LANGUAGE (CB116) | S Dye | B | Never better than midfield at any stage, on fence 6Ls off pace in 9th 1000 M out, short of running but always appeared held by about 4Ls in the home straight. |
| 11 | 13 | NEW FACE (CA387) | A Marcus | SR | 2-wide and 7Ls off pace in 12th at 1000 M, closer in midfield turning for home, never had any kind of clear run behind a wall of horses, eased when without a chance final 100 M. |
| 12 | 6 | NOBLE CHAMPION (CC287) | Y T Cheng | TT | Broke very badly losing at least 6Ls at start, 9Ls off pace on fence in rear at 1000 M, still rear entering straight, made some ground closing stages, was always very short of running room. |
| 13 | 3 | SEASONS TREASURE (CB310) | R Fradd | -- | Caught 5-wide without cover early on, near rear and 3-wide with cover and 6Ls off pace at 800 M, steadied 500 M and 300 M out, never threatened but hadn't much running room on run-in. |
| 14 | 14 | GALLANT HORSE (CA128) | A Delpech | B1 | Over-raced continually down back straight when 2-wide and no worse than 3Ls off pace in about 5th place, still on terms when 3-wide into stretch, faded from 300 M out. |
