3 12 SUPREME KNIGHT (CL313) D Beadman SR1/CP1/H/TT Always thereabouts, held every chance early in straight but failed to quicken to challenge throughout closing stages.
4 8 LUCKY CHEVALIER (M113) J Lloyd -- Settled on rails in midfield, saved ground and only one off the lead turning home when not much room, shifted out for a clear run 200 M out but failed to quicken to challenge.
5 11 HAPPY FOREVER (M034) M Chadwick TT Close up early, gradually taken backward to travel in rear of midfield or just worse, remained similar turning in when did not find much room, made up good late ground inside final 200 M to be nearest at finish.
