1 2 DONGGUAN VICTORY (CB382) K T Yeung -- Settled in rear 3-wide with cover about 7Ls or 8Ls off pace down back straight, same on straightening for home when 5-wide, picked up very well to lead 50 M from the line and stay on.
2 7 TRIUMPH (CC214) D Whyte V 3-wide and 4Ls off pace in 7th at 1200 M and same at 800 M, 3-wide and 3Ls down in 6th off home straight, led briefly about 100 M out but no extra when headed about 50 M out.
3 6 CHINA CAT (CC114) R Fradd P/TT 3-wide without cover and 2Ls off pace in 3rd at 1200 M, same distance behind lead but in 5th at 800 M, 2Ls 4th at top of home straight, 1L down in 3rd at 200 M and all out, hung on for a place.
4 11 SPECTACULAR HIT (CC194) D Boeuf B-/H- 2-wide and 6Ls off pace in 11th at 1200 M and in 12th at 800 M, still 6Ls behind when 4-wide off final bend, ran on fairly well through final stages to be nearest at the finish.
5 3 MASTER MARAUDER (CA184) A Delpech -- Soon led on inside, 1L clear at 1200 M and still 1L to the good off home turn, all out when headed about 100 M out, no extra.
6 8 CHERISHED (CB160) T Mundry P On the inside 3Ls off pace in 6th at 1200 M, 2Ls off speed in 3rd at 800 M and at 400 M, one-paced on the run-in.
7 10 CORNWALL CHIEFS (CD007) A Marcus -- Slowly away, 2-wide and 4Ls off the speed in 8th at the 1200 M, under pressure entering straight when just over 3Ls off pace in 5th, faded steadily.
8 4 GREAT SENSATION (CB143) D Dunn -- Slowly away and crowded at start, on fence 6Ls off the pace in 12th at 1200 M and similarly placed at 800 M, 5Ls down entering straight, steadied and switched at 200 M, always outpaced.
9 14 LA MERVEILLE (CC205) C Williams B/H 2-wide and 2Ls off pace in 4th at 1200 M, 3Ls down in 5th at 800 M and struggling to maintain this position at top of home straight, faded.
10 13 SIGHT FIRST (BT280) K C Tsang SR 3-wide with cover and 3Ls off pace in 5th at 1200 M, a little over 3Ls behind in 6th at 800 M, never likely to reach leaders in straight and already weakening when 5Ls down 200 M out.
11 12 TUSITALA (CC052) G Schofield V Always caught 4-wide without cover down back straight when about 5Ls off pace in 10th, similarly placed when 5-wide into home straight, found very little under pressure.
12 1 STEP FORWARD (CB166) G Mosse B-/SR Had head up 1400 M out, 3-wide and roughly 5Ls off pace in 9th down the back, 6Ls off pace entering straight when hanging out, well beaten when steadied 200 M out.
13 9 DANCING BOY (CC358) W Smith -- Never a factor, never better than 7Ls off the pace at any stage.
14 5 RED BARON (CC220) S Dye B/SR 2-wide and 1L off pace in 2nd at 1200 M, still 1L down in 2nd entering home straight but under pressure, dropped out very rapidly. (Significant amount of mucus in trachea.)
