Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 2 | COLLIER HILL (CH618) | D McKeown | SR | Better than midfield. Kept within 4Ls of the pacesetter back straight. 3-wide and got to within a length of the leader turning for home. Opened up a clear advantage final 300 M. Mustered just enough to hold off a late challenger. |
| 2 | 7 | KASTORIA (CH621) | M Kinane | TT | Settled on fence in midfield. Checked on straightening and ended in a bad spot near the back. Regrouped at 350 M and launched a strong rally. Came up a nose short. |
| 3 | 8 | SHAMDALA (CG625) | C Soumillon | SR | Behind midfield early. Crowded and dropped to rear section at 1700 M. Towards rear and 4Ls off the leader turning for home. Had to clear traffic in the early part of the straight and made a late rally to be closest at finish. |
| 4 | 9 | SONG OF WIND (CH623) | K Take | -- | Settled at the tail end of the field until 800 M. Advanced in a 3-wide position making the turn. Kept on well after straightening but was unable to gain much ground in the final stages. |
| 5 | 1 | MARAAHEL (CG601) | R Hills | V | Behind midfield early and middle stages. 4 to 5Ls off the leader and trailed field on straightening. Rallied but unable to keep momentum final 100 M. |
| 6 | 3 | EGERTON (CH619) | T Mundry | -- | Never better than midfield. 4Ls off the leader at 800 M. Made a brief dash after straightening but was unable to sustain effort final 200 M. |
| 7 | 4 | SCORPION (CH620) | J Heffernan | -- | Raced in a prominent position behind the leader. Unable to find a dash after straightening. |
| 8 | 10 | ADMIRE MAIN (CH622) | Y Take | -- | Set the pace most of the way. Found no extra to stay in front after straightening and gradually faded. |
| 9 | 5 | SATURN (CD154) | D Nikolic | -- | Raced behind the pace in a 2-wide position. Lacked the needed response on straightening and weakened final 300 M. |
