2 8 FANTASTISCH (CK017) M Guyon XB/TT Soon led, crossed to rails and steadied pace on stables bend, ceded advantage to eventual winner before 1000 M bend and tracked him to straight, responded to strong pressure on rails after straightening only to fail by a narrow margin.
3 2 SUPER GALILEO (L061) D Whyte B Began fairly, ridden along to muster early pace and never far off, took closer order coming off the Rock, disputed lead into straight, fought on under pressure to miss narrowly.
4 1 EVER KING (CE147) C Y Ho B/TT Began awkwardly losing ground, never better than midfield to straight, fought on steadily to be nearest at finish.
5 11 FULL PACK (CJ312) T Angland B Trailed the field to straight, taken widest turning in, made up ground under pressure down centre of track to be nearest at finish.
6 9 HUMONGUS (CJ265) B Doyle B Travelled on rails in midfield, came off the rails for a run entering straight, ran home one-paced. (Mucus.)
7 7 PACIFIC ALLIANCE (CC230) O Doleuze V Midfield most of way to halfway, became 3L 4th when pace slackened after the Rock, gave ground gradually in straight.
8 5 FASCINATING SMILE (CK335) K C Leung -- Broke well from a wide draw, close up when badly checked and lost about 2Ls approaching 1000 M bend, travelled in 3L 4th down far side and then 5th after the Rock, in similar position turning for home, found nothing under pressure.
9 12 ROCKALOT (CH163) H W Lai SR-/V-/H-/XB1 Ridden for speed immediately after jump, gradually shuffled backward to be wide in midfield far side, remained similar turning for home, found nothing under pressure.
10 4 SUPREME YEARS (L084) G Mosse H Well back, very wide turning for home, not much room after straightening, made no impression thereafter.
