1 3 PAKISTAN LEGACY (J363) J Orman V/TT Went for the lead on jumping from draw 11, crossed to the fence 800M and led steadily, was strongly challenged by rival final 250M but kept going well to hold on.
2 4 RISING FORCE (K236) R Kingscote -- Tracked leader on inside, came with a strong looking challenge 250M, tried hard but was always held by the winner. (Jockey - given the option of obtaining cover if circumstances permitted.)
3 2 GENEVA (J114) H Bowman -- Settled towards the rear, had some work to do top of the straight, held up 350M then hit the line well to claim 3rd. Encouraging run after lengthy break.
4 6 AURIO (K056) Z Purton SR/TT Bumped on jumping, obtained a 2-wide position midfield, had every chance turning home but couldn't quicken enough final 200M to challenge for a top three finish.
5 9 WUKONG JEWELLERY (K314) H Bentley P-/TT Not hurried early stages, given a waiting ride behind mid-division, brought wide to challenge passing 400M before staying on steadily for modest 5th.
6 10 ARMOUR WAR EAGLE (J039) A Atzeni CP/TT Taken back to the rear from wide draw, remained in last 400M 5Ls to make up, came from well back and made some inroads, but couldn't get into it.
7 7 ANODE (K367) E C W Wong B/TT Jumped on terms, settled down behind midfield, 3-4Ls off leader coming into straight but responded only fairly and failed to trouble leaders.
8 11 SUPERB KING (K479) A Badel XB/CP2 Never far off leaders in 4th place, moved up to 2nd early straight, run ended 200M and faded away.
9 1 LUCY IN THE SKY (J275) M Guyon TT From draw 1 stayed close enough to leaders, was repeatedly denied for clear running in the home straight before easing off final 150M when no chance.
10 5 HOTT SHOTT (L147) M F Poon H1/TT Settled in the back half of the field 6Ls off leader, couldn't go on passing 300M, dropped out rapidly well beaten.
11 8 IRON SECURITY (L174) K C Leung CP2/TT2 Pushed to a forward position just outside leader, struggled to keep up entering home straight, weakened away badly to finish last.
