1 5 OSVALDO (CK075) K C Leung B In mid-division, switched away from the fence 600M, picked up gradually and into top gear passing 200M, finished off strongly to get up near line.
2 12 REGENCY WINNER (CK410) M Chadwick TT Reserved in a rail position near the rear, made smooth headway from 400M, hit lead near 100M, caught late.
3 8 HAPPY TUMBLER (CL048) J Lloyd XB Switched off to the rear, driven 350M, had to peel out for a clear run in straight, finished off well to go 3rd near the finish.
4 1 MR BOND (M098) G Mosse -- Held up towards the rail of the field 6-7Ls off the pace, 3-wide for most of the way, pulled widest to challenge inside 400M, stayed on well.
5 10 JAMESINA (CH290) M Guyon B/TT Dropped in behind midfield, shuffled back to near last halfway, stayed on under pressure final 350M.
6 2 BUSINESS AS USUAL (M057) B Prebble H Led to near 1200 then sat back behind leaders, very keen under restraint in middle stages, found less than expected when off the bridle inside 400M, ran on one-paced. (Jockey voiced concern about his horse's action.)
7 4 HAPPY GUYS (CL275) Z Purton B Went forward, vied for lead on the outside passing 1200M, kicked away entering home straight, headed 150M, no extra final stages.
8 9 BANKSTERS BONUS (N113) M Du Plessis B Chased leaders along the fence, appeared to travel well, briefly threatened early straight, one-paced final 200M.
9 11 HOLIDAY SUN (CJ328) C Y Ho CP Not far off from the pace in the first half, tight for room 600M and lost position, didn't respond to urging after and was beaten near 300M. Disappointing.
10 7 RIO WILLIE (N087) O Doleuze SR Settled 2-wide in mid-division, pushed along nearing 400M but not quickened, never a factor.
11 3 HOT SHOT (CL289) D Whyte TT Made some use early to cross to the lead, shared lead on the inside from 1200M, outpaced turning for home, dropped out quickly.
12 6 FREE JUDGEMENT (M163) T Clark B- Raced 3-wide behind midfield early stages, left with no cover from 1200M, strode forward to near pace passing 800M, folded quickly on straightening, soon behind.
