1 1 STELLAR SWIFT (J139) H Bowman CP/TT Bumped shortly after the start, given a waiting ride behind midfield, loomed behind leaders mid-straight before unleashing a good turn of foot to wrestle the lead close home.
2 7 JUBILANT WINNER (J346) Z Purton CP/TT Bumped shortly after the start, restrained in mid-division, worked into the race nicely 400M, quickened past leader mid-straight, just couldn't hold off winner late stages.
3 10 DRAGON FOUR SEAS (J317) K C Leung B Caught wide early stages then strode forward to take up running, set steady pace to straight then responded well when placed under pressure, all out but couldn't hold off first two late stages.
4 8 DOUBLE WIN (H382) L Hewitson XB/TT Jumped only fairly from draw 1, settled down in midfield along the fence, held up 400M-300M, was making progress when denied clear running 100M-50M. Could have done better.
5 12 STRATHPEFFER (H095) M Chadwick B Unable to slot in after the start, pushed along 1000M to be chasing leaders 3-wide without cover, fought on one-paced in the straight, no match for leaders final 200M.
6 9 HAPPY DAILY (E294) C Y Ho TT Taken back after the start, reserved near last 6Ls off the pace, stayed on mildly final 400M but never looked likely.
7 11 TEAM HAPPY (J218) Y L Chung B Chased leader 2-wide, kept up with leaders early straight but couldn't sustain run passing 200M, faded to 7th.
8 3 I AM THE BOSS (H446) M L Yeung CP/XB From inside draw took up a more forward position than usual, tracked leaders into straight, lacked a finishing response inside 400M, eased when crowded for room late stages.
9 2 SUNNY DA BEST (J118) A Atzeni TT Failed to show sufficient pace to hold a more forward position, settled in midfield and caught racing wide no cover from 1000M, worked home fairly final 400M. No threat to leaders.
10 6 RED ACLAIM (J017) B Avdulla TT Jumped only fairly, ended up racing towards the rear along the fence, couldn't quicken enough on straightening, no impression on leaders.
11 13 EVER SMART (J179) H Bentley H1/TT From wide draw drifted back to race towards the rear, caught wide making the home turn, failed to make much impression on straightening. Never a threat
12 4 LIGHTNING BOLT (G130) M F Poon TT Jumped awkwardly, settled 3-wide behind midfield, kept on fairly final 400M, couldn't launch a serious challenge.
13 5 CELTIC TIMES (G230) K Teetan B/TT Began well, chased leader on settling, couldn't go on passing 300M, weakened towards the line.
14 14 MR GOOD VIBES (H180) A Badel B Dropped back to race at the rear, 8Ls off the pace middle stages, found nothing on straightening. Never in the picture.
