1 2 PURE FORCE (M298) T Angland B/H Always well there, held slender advantage on stands rails inside final 400 metres, hung on well under pressure, only caught in the bobbing heads to share the spoils.
1 6 ARCHIPPUS (P361) Z Purton B1 Midfield early, improved to close-up position over 600 metres out, looked confident through final 200 metres, rallied final stages to salvage a dead-heat.
3 7 CELESTIAL SMILE (S013) K C Leung -- Never far off, produced good late impression closing stages.
4 9 HORSE SUPREMO (S055) K Teetan -- Disputed lead, weakened out of contention inside final 250 metres.

7 12 SLEDGE HAMMER (N405) B Prebble CP-/B1/TT Jumped awkwardly bumping others, travelled mainly in midfield down the centre of the track, kept on well in the run home.
8 3 XI YING MEN (CL352) D Whyte B Jumped fairly from a low draw, settled one back down the centre of the track, faded inside final 250 metres. (Questioned for disappointing performance)
