1 8 STRONGEST BOY (H027) Z Purton B/TT Bumped on jumping. restrained in midfield along the 2-path in a slowly run race, remained 3L behind leader at 400M, came with a well-timed run to lead near line for maiden victory.
2 4 CORDYCEPS ONE (E107) H Bentley -- Soon led, allowed an easy lead early and middle stages, kept on well when driven out passing 300M, caught by winner close home.
3 10 CAN'T GO WONG (H087) A Badel B/TT From wide draw shifted across behind runners, settled behind midfield 6Ls off the pace, made his move on outside home turn, moved up to 3rd near 200M but no match for first two late stages.
4 12 UNITED ENDEAVORS (G030) M L Yeung H/TT From draw one moved up to track leaders, fought hard to stay in contention early straight, failed to find extra final 150M, comfortably held by leaders towards the finish.
5 9 PO ON WAY (H201) M Chadwick B From wide draw shifted across behind runners, reserved in last off a slow pace 10Ls back on settling, pushed along 500M, ran on well in the straight but too much to do.

7 3 SURE JOYFUL (G125) H Bowman -- Chased leaders, little change throughout the race, lacked a turn of foot early straight, lost 3rd spot 250M and out of contention. (Jockey fined for failing to ride out to the satisfaction of the Stewards.)
