1 9 SPLENDID LIVING (E192) M Dee CP/TT Soon crossed to the lead, led steadily early stages before quickening up 700M, continued on well in the straight building up an unassailable lead 200M, won comfortably.
2 10 QUANTUM PATCH (H166) K Teetan TT1 Restrained to a position behind midfield 5Ls off the pace, swung wide home turn, stayed on well to claim clear 2nd, not reach winner.
3 3 ZONE D (D415) B Avdulla TT Jumped only fairly, settled behind midfield along the inside, ran on mildly passing 300M, got up for 3rd late but never a threat to the runaway winner.
4 6 IVY LEAGUE (H116) L Ferraris H/SR/XB/TT Obtained a midfield spot, saved ground along the fence throughout, kept on steadily final 300M but lacked a strong finishing effort.
5 12 TOP TOP TEA (H048) A Badel -- Chased leaders in a 3-wide position without cover, pushed along 550M but lacked the needed response, fought on one paced to the line.
6 4 SO WE JOY (D082) Z Purton CP2/TT Held up in mid-division, 4Ls to make up 400M, responded mildly when asked, never going the pace to challenge.
7 7 STAR CONTACT (E472) H Bowman CP/TT Chased leaders on inside, went 2nd from top of the straight, not able to challenge leader, swamped by rivals final 150M.
8 1 RISING FROM ASHES (G209) K C Leung B/TT Positioned ahead of midfield, never far off the pace 3Ls behind leader, responded fairly under top weight final 250M, never a threat.
9 5 LOYAL BABY (E130) M Chadwick TT Tracked leader, came under pressure 400M, hung early straight, made no progress and came up empty 200M, faded towards the line. (Jockey could offer no explanation for the disappointing performance.)
10 8 OUR LUCKY GLORY (G292) C Y Ho SR/TT From wide draw shifted across behind runners, raced as the back-marker 8Ls off the pace, failed to close off in the straight.
11 11 THE HULK (C431) L Currie -- From wide draw taken back to near the rear, bustled along 600M but failed to respond to riding, never involved. (Jockey : was asked to ride in a conservative manner to avoid racing wide in anticipation of genuine early pace.)
12 2 NOT USUAL STAR (G396) L Hewitson H/TT Jumped awkwardly and lost ground, settled towards the rear, couldn't go on passing 400M, made no impact on his first visit to Happy Valley.
