1 6 GOODVIEW SUCCESSOR (M043) D Whyte B2 Travelled strongly just off the pace, responded well and got to the front nearing 150M, kept on to hold off a renewed challenge from the runner-up.
2 9 SUNNY MORE (M150) K C Leung H/TT Crossed to the lead without making too much use, took them along steadily, kept on under pressure and rallied back when headed near 150M, lost out narrowly. (Jockey suspended 2 days for dropping his whip 50M out.)
3 5 GLORY OF INDIA (CK130) J Lloyd TT Behind midfield and saved ground on the inside, took time to muster turning in, did best work over the final 200M.
4 3 HEAR THE ROAR (M152) D Beadman H- Restrained after the start, settled near last 7Ls off the pace, switched widest turning in, finished well despite hanging in final 200M.
5 1 TOM'S EIGHTH (CL087) M Chadwick B/TT Fractious in the stall and was slow to begin, raced near last and much further back than intended, held up in early straight but ran on only fairly when clear.
6 2 ALMIGHTY WINDPOWER (CL272) B Doyle B In midfield early, strode forward to race outside the lead when left with no cover from 1100M, kept on to 200M then weakened.
7 7 EAGLE SPIRIT (CL326) M Du Plessis TT Not far off in 4th place, pushed along inside 500M, kept on at the same pace under maximum pressure.
8 4 AMITYSHIP (CK023) O Doleuze B- Settled along the fence about 4Ls back in 5th, found little when asked, and never going the pace to challenge, eased when beaten 100M out.
9 10 BEST FRIEND (CH240) T H So B- Raced as the backmarker from 1600M, had over 6Ls to make up going into final 400M, made limited progress only and was never a threat.
10 8 FULL SPIRIT (CL386) G Cheyne TT Positioned 2-wide behind mid-division, not picked up when asked inside 500M, out of contention mid-straight.
