1 1 LUCKY NINE (CL259) B Prebble H Slow, given reminders, mustered between horses settling behind pace. Peeled 4-wide turning for home, levelled up with 200m to go, battled gamely for narrow win.
2 3 CHARLES THE GREAT (N171) D Whyte SR/TT Began well, raced inside leaders along rail to back stretch, held box seat around final turn, drew level 200m, battled gamely to just fail.
3 2 STERLING CITY (N152) J Moreira -- Jumped with field but difficult to settle before taking position one-back, one-off. Pocketed final turn, blocked for run in straight, finished strongly when clear 150m.
4 4 FREDERICK ENGELS (N187) T Berry TT Began fairly, restrained and taken across behind horses at rear. Swung widest turning for home and ran on strongly to just miss a place.
5 10 BULLISH FRIEND (N333) Z Purton TT Began best, pressed forward to lead on settling, set steady pace to straight. Caught 200m out but battled on till swamped final stages.
6 8 STRAIGHT GOLD (N089) N Callan H/XB Began well but outpaced slipping to behind midfield close to rail. No run early in straight and awkwardly placed 200m, stayed on nicely.
7 7 EL ZONDA (CK132) A Suborics TT Jumped fairly, outpaced, dropping to rear but close to fence. Peeled out turning for home and kept on steadily.
8 5 CERISE CHERRY (CL141) M Chadwick B/TT Began OK, restrained and taken closer to fence at rear. Layout both terms, shaken up entering straight but limited response.
9 9 BEST ELEVEN (N016) M Demuro TT Pressed forward from wide draw and trapped 4-wide first firm, thereafter racing without cover. Stayed with leaders early in straight but soon beaten and tired.
10 6 GO BABY GO (N033) O Doleuze -- Jumped well, hard ridden, rolled forward to sit on hind-quarters of leader from 800m. Battled on early in straight before giving ground from 200m.
