| Placing | Horse No |
Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 3 | GOOD WORDS (CL371) | M Chadwick | TT | Sped to the front and led at a steady pace, opened up a 2Ls gap turning in, kept on strongly to the line and was never threatened. Impressive. |
| 2 | 6 | HAPPY REUNION (CK163) | M Du Plessis | TT | Placed one out one back, tried his hardest to get to the eventual winner, gave all but couldn't quite get there. |
| 3 | 12 | CHARITY SPIRIT (M095) | Z Purton | -- | Up with the pace but was 3-wide without cover, looked dangerous when making his challenge 250M out but could not close the gap on the impressive winner. |
| 4 | 1 | LONDON CHINA TOWN (CL236) | B Prebble | -- | Tracked leader on the inside, had every chance turning in and kept on effort to 100M, faded over the final stages. |
| 5 | 4 | ABLE SPEED (CK210) | D Beadman | B/H/TT | Not hurried in early stages, settled towards the rear 5-6Ls off the pace, took time to gather turning in, did best work late. |
| 6 | 5 | JUMBO GOLD (CK393) | C Y Ho | TT | Unable to slot in from draw 12 and travelled 3-wide in midfield throughout, ran on fairly final 300M and couldn't reach the leaders. |
| 7 | 10 | FLYING COLOURS (CJ111) | T Angland | B | Restrained after the start, lost ground near 1100M and shuffled back to a rearward position, swung widest into straight and made only limited progress. (Jockey questioned.) |
| 8 | 2 | PERFECT STYLE (CJ329) | O Doleuze | -- | Held up in midfield along the inside, kept on one-paced to 100M then weakened. |
| 9 | 9 | FLASHING AURA (CL404) | J Lloyd | TT | Broke well, never far off the pace, under pressure passing 500M, could make no impression in straight and ran disappointingly. |
| 10 | 8 | NORMAN INVADER (CJ231) | W C Marwing | B/TT | Restrained to a midfield position along the 2-path, remained at the same pace to 200M, weakened over the final stages. |
| 11 | 11 | FOREVER ELATION (CK215) | G Cheyne | B | Taken back to the rear 7Ls behind leader, did not pick up when asked and had little left for closing stages. |
| 12 | 7 | ELITE SIXTY-SIX (CK085) | B Doyle | H | Dropped back and soon guided to the fence, didn't travel and became detached from the field making the home turn, made limited progress inside 200M. (Jockey questioned / Mucopus). |
