| 1 | 12 | ALWAYS SOMETHING (CK288) | D Whyte | TT- | Away with them, travelled smoothly in a spot behind midfield, crept closer and poised to strike passing 500M, picked up strongly in straight to cut down the leader in the final stride. |
| 2 | 2 | TAVERNER (CK227) | B Prebble | -- | In chasing group just off the pace but was caught wide, quickened well and hit the front 200M, did well enough to shake off the 3rd but couldn't hold the winner who flashed past down the outside. (Jockey dropped whip 150M.) |
| 3 | 14 | ROYAL DOCTOR (CL051) | G Mosse | -- | Awkwardly away and stumbled after the start, recovered to race 3-wide in midfield, strongly challenged 200M out and made good impression although not able to pull out extra close home. |
| 4 | 3 | GLENEALY ELITE (CJ034) | O Doleuze | B/XB | Taken back on jumping from a wide barrier, raced in last 8Ls off the pace, shifted out to find clear running from 500M, finished well down the outside but had too much to do. |
| 5 | 7 | ELITE SIXTY-SIX (CK085) | D Beadman | -- | Restrained to a 2-wide position in midfield, 4Ls down off the bend and was held up early in straight, ran on well when clear near 250M but not reached the leaders. |
| 6 | 11 | MEDIC FORTUNE (CK057) | Z Purton | B/XB | Held up in the rear 6Ls behind leaders, waited with till 500M, stayed on from off the pace but was never a threat to the principals. |
| 7 | 1 | WEI HAI INVINCIBLE (CH258) | S K Sit | CP-/B2/TT | Pushed along to obtain a forward position just behind leaders after a sluggish start, moved into a threatening position off the bend, briefly looked dangerous but run ended 200M from home. |
| 8 | 13 | MY MATE ADRIC (CL004) | W M Lai | -- | Showed early pace to dispute lead on the outside, driven inside 400M but was gradually outpaced final 200M. (Jockey questioned.) |

| 11 | 10 | QUELLE SURPRISE (CL008) | J Lloyd | -- | Began awkwardly, settled towards the rear and raced greenly in his debut, hung out and covered extra ground over the turn, made some progress late on but never dangerous. (Jockey questioned.) |
| 12 | 4 | BROTHERS IN ARMS (CJ070) | K C Leung | CP | Quickly into stride, with leaders early but was held back approaching the turn, showed little response when driven in straight, faded final 200M. |
