1 2 VENGEANCE OF RAIN (CD142) A Delpech TT Broke with them, took up move forward than usual position raced 1 out 1 back 3Ls from lead, had run of race and travelled strongly to turn, eased 4 wide in straight and showed great turn of foot to gather them in.
2 10 PRIDE (CG602) C Soumillon E Began with field, showed no early speed, settled just worse than midfield 2 wide 5Ls of pace, did no work in run, tracked nicely into race and made run widest on turn and chased gamely to run down all but the winner.
3 1 MARAAHEL (CG601) R Hills V Began awkwardly trapped three wide near rear into first turn, slotted in 2 wide during mid-section, raced 4 to 5 off leaders to turn, followed eventual winner in straight, tried hard but just lacked vital pick up.
4 6 RUSSIAN PEARL (CE019) F Coetzee TT Fair to begin, proved difficult to settle when restrained to rearward position 4 back on fence 5 to 6Ls off lead, did no work in run, followed paint into stretch, came between horses in straight and did best work late.
5 5 TOUCH OF LAND (CE602) C Lemaire -- Broke with them, awkwardly placed 3 wide, midfield 3Ls off lead, raced without cover throughout, wasn't pressured with average pace in mid-section, one paced in straight but stuck to task.
6 4 EPALO (CE636) A Starke -- Left gates well, took up spot at leaders girth, held 2 wide position throughout with moderate speed, took lead entering straight but collared passing 200 M and weakened from that point.
7 7 GREEN TREASURE (CD225) O Doleuze -- Average to begin, took up spot 2 wide at rear, raced 7Ls off lead throughout, had field in front on turning from home, made late ground down outside in straight giving to greater start.
8 9 ALEXANDER GOLDRUN (CE605) K Manning -- Slow to begin, held position 3 back on fence 3 to 4 Ls from pace, overraced in early stages, travelled on bridle in mid-section, no clear run entering straight and badly checked passing 250 M and lost all momentum. No luck.
9 8 WILLOW O WISP (CG604) K Fallon SR/E/TT Best away, showed speed to take up front running, lead throughout at easy speed, dictated terms to turn but couldn't match them in stretch and weakened out of it.
10 3 RIVER DANCER (CC109) D Whyte -- Began with them, held prominent position behind leader, had ideal trip thereafter, followed paint into straight and angled wide but lacked dash and didn't finish off when checked at 250 M mark.
