1 | 11 | JOYFUL YEARS (CG143) | T H So | B | Began with others from a poor draw, soon restrained to obtain cover behind midfield, commenced move up Rock, made steady headway out wide home bend, hit front 200 M out, fought on well to defy runner-up's late challenge. |
2 | 12 | COVER BOY (CK021) | J Lloyd | B | Waited with, swung very wide into straight, finished off race well down centre of straight to be nearest at finish. |

4 | 7 | BINGO KEY (CK190) | M Guyon | -- | Began with others, soon taken backward to settle behind midfield on rails, saved ground and snuck up on rails turning for home to be 2Ls back in 3rd upon straightening, failed to quicken to threaten. |
5 | 9 | WINNING STRATEGY (CJ353) | D Whyte | B | Slowly away, soon taken across from a wide gate to race in last few, circled field around home bend, quickened to look place chance over 200 M out but unable to sustain effort closing stages. |
6 | 4 | EVER KING (CE147) | Z Purton | B/TT | Slowly away, settled at the tail-end, went widest into straight, made up good ground past well-beaten runners in the run home down the centre of the track. |

10 | 10 | SPEEDY TYCOON (CK107) | G Cheyne | B/H | Began fairly, settled in 5th within 3Ls of pace, gradually gave ground from approaching Rock dropping to one of last into straight, no further impression. |
11 | 2 | CLOVIS (CH044) | B Doyle | -- | Persevered from the widest gate to race prominently travelling very wide stables bend, eventually settled 3-wide without cover in 3rd far side, remained similar home bend, folded up quickly upon straightening. |
