| 1 | 14 | ROYAL PRINCE (CH072) | B Prebble | TT | Awkwardly away but soon recovered and drove through towards leading bunch, slotted in perfectly behind leader at 1200 M and had run of race to bend, switched out and hit clear at 350 M, asserted authority last 250 M for another easy win. |
| 2 | 11 | GOODY (CD239) | A Delpech | -- | No speed as usual, showed enough to hold a midfield spot on rails 4Ls off pace, had a soft run thereafter, travelled well on bend, shifted out in straight and made good ground last 300 M finding winner too good on day. |
