1 5 ARRIVED AHEAD (M068) D Whyte -- Up with early pace, strode to the lead passing 800M, kept responding under pressure in straight and always found enough to hold off rivals.
2 6 HORSE GALORE (L220) O Doleuze B Lacked his usual early speed, 3-wide move from 800M to a more prominent position, swung wide into straight, kept on well final 300M and got up for 2nd near line.
3 2 ABLE SPEED (CK210) B Prebble B/H/TT Always prominent, travelled well in the slipstream of the leader, kept on evenly inside 300M and put in a renewed challenge final 100M, nearest finish.
