2 11 NOBLE TWINS (CH257) M Chadwick B Drawn wide and raced wide in prominent positions mostly in 4th to straight, fought on under pressure to just fail to peg back winner.
3 4 GREEN GLORY (CJ177) J Lloyd B/TT Waited with, circled field around the bend, finished off race nicely off the rails, did best work late.
4 7 ROCKET AND GOLD (CH015) B Prebble B/TT Towards the rear, raced wide into the straight, made up good ground as usual down the centre of the track, nearest at finish.
5 10 LIGHTNING MOUNT (CH082) G Cheyne PC-/B2 Attempted to make all, came under pressure to maintain position after straightening, folded up quickly inside final 100 M.
6 8 HUMONGUS (CJ265) D Whyte B Midfield, came to challenge after straightening but baulked over 150 M out, kept on to the finish.

9 5 HEALTHY CONTENDER (CJ342) K C Leung H Began from the widest barrier, soon taken across for rails run with backmarkers, saved ground turning for home, not clear run most of way in straight.
10 1 CLASSA (CK267) T H So B Slowly away, raced wide towards the rear early improving to midfield far side, took closer order turning for home, kept on before fading inside final 200 M.
11 6 GORGEOUS RULER (CK403) Z Purton B/TT Settled just better than midfield, not much room behind leaders early in straight, found nothing inside final 200 M.
12 3 GRAND GENERAL (CJ113) B Doyle B/H Jumped moderately, soon settled in midfield on rails, saved a lot of ground turning in, weakened badly under pressure inside final 200 M. (Questioned for disappointing performance.)
