Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 2 | COLLECTION (CK217) | D Beadman | TT | Given a waiting ride as usual and travelled 8Ls off the pace just behind mid-division, crept closer rounding bend, dashed impressively down centre of home straight when asked final 350 M, hung in at 200 M, drew clear to score easily. |
| 2 | 6 | THUMBS UP (CK005) | C Soumillon | B | Driven to hold a one-off position in midfield, responded well when asked for efforts final 300 M, checked at 200 M, soon recovered and ran on soundly for 2nd. (Objection overruled.) |
| 3 | 8 | MR MEDICI (CK218) | G Mosse | -- | Jumped only fairly, niggled along to hold a one-off position 3-4Ls off the speed, ran on steadily when placed under pressure final 300 M but soon overhauled by the winner, kept on for a place. |
| 4 | 1 | GOOD BA BA (CE201) | B Doyle | TT | Awkwardly started, taken rearward to sit 10Ls behind the leader, travelled nicely on rails, niggled along from 650 M and swung wide for home, made gradual progress down centre of the straight, too late for a place. |
| 5 | 4 | PACKING WINNER (CE334) | O Doleuze | -- | Jumped only fairly, sat cosily just behind the pace, quickened to challenge the leader from 600 M, kept on well early in home straight, overhauled at 250 M, remained one-paced. |
| 6 | 3 | VIVA PATACA (CG096) | W C Marwing | H | Broke well, prominently placed about 4Ls behind the speed, never properly clear in home straight, not fully tested. |
| 7 | 5 | SIGHT WINNER (CJ049) | A Gryder | TT | Easily ran up to lead 1L, left contested until the home turn, kept on until overhauled passing 200 M, soon got tired. |
| 8 | 10 | JAMESINA (CH290) | Z Purton | CP/TT | Out in line, given a waiting ride as usual and travelled over 10Ls behind the leader, niggled along rounding bend, made up little ground final 250 M. |
| 9 | 11 | ROMA PEGASUS (CK115) | M Chadwick | TT | Settled 3Ls behind the speed, travelled nicely in early and middle stages, held ground early in home straight but could not find extra to challenge the principals final 150 M. |
| 10 | 7 | SPECIAL DAYS (CH236) | D Whyte | -- | Out in line, held up in a fence position in midfield, gave very limited response when asked final 400 M, never a factor. |
| 11 | 9 | ABLE ONE (CG108) | J Lloyd | H1 | Broke well, taken rearward and travelled about 10Ls off the pace, pulled hard when being restrained in the early stages, made no progress in home straight, never competitive. |
