1 3 DEEP THINKER (N159) O Doleuze CP Checked on jumping, but recovered to sit midfield on the rail. Switched inside for better position in the straight, before angling out again at 200m. Ran on strongly from there to roll 2nd on line, and hold out 3rd.
2 10 STRATHMORE (S206) N Rawiller B/TT Began OK and eventually settled just forward of midfield, 2-3 wide. Came wider on the turn, and ran on strongly. Just peaked in the last 50m, allowing winner to get through, but held out fast finishing 3rd.
3 2 MR GENUINE (S253) N Callan H/XB Began awkwardly, then bumped and unbalanced. Sat 2nd last on the fence until pushed forward 800m. Came off heels when pushing forward 600m. Came out looking for run 350m. Finished off best, and just missed 1 and 2.
4 7 CLEVER BEAVER (S352) K C Ng TT Shifted out on jumping, then pushed forward to just behind the leader, 1 off the fence. Ran on OK in the straight, but had no kick when first three went past in the last 100m.
5 1 ALL GREAT FRIENDS (S279) G Mosse -- Pushed forward from the wide barrier to sit near the lead, but 4 wide no cover into the first turn. In a prominent position 300m, weakened late and dropped back.
6 4 GOLDEN DEER (P121) Z Purton B Bumped and unbalanced jumping and taken back to sit near the rear of the field 4-5 wide early, before finding cover 2nd last mid race. Came 2nd widest on turn, finished off reasonably well, picking up some stragglers late.
7 6 VICTORY MAGIC (T272) J Moreira -- Began well, and taken forward to sit in a handy position on the fence. Came wider for a run on the turn. Lost a run at the 250m, before coming off heels at 200m and losing ground. Finished fairly, without being pushed too hard.

9 8 IMPERIAL CHAMPION (P416) C Y Ho TT Began very well, and pushed straight to lead early. Under a hold until asked to go at the 350m, but was one paced and easily passed by the majority of the field.
10 12 DILLY (T074) Y T Cheng -- Unbalanced on jumping, before being pressed forward to sit 3rd, three off the fence. Asked the question on the turn, but never responded and faded badly from there.
11 11 IMPERIAL ROME (N012) A Suborics TT Awkwardly away, and sat worse than midfield. Came widest on the turn, but didn't respond to pressure from 400m. Faded back, and eased out late.
12 5 DINING WORLD (P384) D Whyte B-/TT- Began OK, but dropped out quickly when hampered 1150m to sit 4 lengths off the 2nd last horse by the 800m. Never stretched out and faded from there. Only cantered to the line when well beaten.
