2 8 GENTLEMEN LEGACY (K385) A Badel B/TT Settled in midfield early stages before making a forward move 800M, led nearing 300M, kept going well only to be caught by winner final stages.
3 4 MASSIVE SOVEREIGN (J208) Z Purton CP Taken back from wide draw and settled rearward, last at 500M, held up for clear running 400M to 250M then finished off well to take 3rd.
4 10 SILVERY BREEZE (K057) S Osborne CP/TT On jumping was checked, settled towards the rear in a slowly run race, had big task in hand 450M, closed off the race well to claim 4th near line but couldn't quite crack the top-three.
5 9 LE ZONDA (L110) R Kingscote TT Jumped awkwardly, settled down behind midfield 6Ls off the pace, chased soundly early straight, briefly took 2nd near 150M but run ended soon and lost rightful running 100M.
