Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 1 | DOCTOR DINO (CJ617) | O Peslier | SR | Went back from wide gate, one from rear about 9Ls behind at halfway, closer but 5-wide off last bend, stayed on strongly down centre to lead on line. |
| 2 | 6 | PURPLE MOON (CK620) | J Spencer | E | 2-wide and 2Ls back in 4th at 1800 M, always close up and led about 350 M out, kept on well and only headed on the line in a bob of heads. |
| 3 | 11 | JAGUAR MAIL (CK624) | M Kinane | XB | Worse than midfield 4-back on the rails initially, one from rear 6Ls from pace 800 M out, challenged out 5-wide turning in, ran on strongly, only just failed. |
| 4 | 13 | THE BOGBERRY (CK623) | C Soumillon | XB | Enjoyed a nice trail in midfield with cover until halfway, 2Ls down in 4th off final bend, stayed on gamely to hold same position in the finish. |
| 5 | 4 | PACKING WINNER (CE334) | D Whyte | -- | Set steady pace and clear by between 1L and 2Ls until the 800 M, headed soon after straightening but stuck on well and only just missed 4th. |
| 6 | 10 | BUCCELLATI (CK622) | W Buick | V/XB | Settled in 11th at first, began to creep closer from the 800 M and dangerous when 2-1/2Ls back in 6th off last bend, outpaced by principals in final 300 M. |
| 7 | 5 | MUHANNAK (CK618) | P Smullen | -- | Fractious in gates and slow to begin, with cover in midfield about 4Ls from speed at halfway, still midfield and held when checked inside final furlong. |
| 8 | 12 | AMBITIOUS GENERAL (CJ066) | E Saint-Martin | TT | Taken back to last, 9Ls adrift at 1200 M, forced 6-wide (widest of all) turning for home, never likely to test the main players. |
| 9 | 2 | DOURO VALLEY (CK616) | D Beadman | B | Settled 1L back in 2nd at 2000 M, remained close-up and 2Ls back in 4th at 800 M, disappointing finish having had such a soft run close to a slow tempo. |
| 10 | 8 | POSEIDON ADVENTURE (CK619) | A Suborics | B | 3-back on the rails in mid-division at first, shuffled back a little at 800 M when 6Ls behind, outpaced in the last three furlongs. |
| 11 | 9 | MOURILYAN (CK621) | R Moore | V | Box-seated on rails early on but tended to over-race until the back straight, 4Ls back in midfield and struggling turning in, faded out. |
| 12 | 3 | MORES WELLS (CK617) | D McDonogh | SR/TT | Trapped 3-wide no cover throughout, around midfield 3Ls behind early pace, struggling 600 M out to lie up and steadily faded out of the picture. |
| 13 | 7 | JACKPOT DELIGHT (CJ101) | G Mosse | B | 3-wide with cover before pressing on out 4-wide no cover from 1000 M to vie for 2nd at 800 M, struggling to keep up at final turn, faded out. |
