1 12 VILLAGER (CB259) W M Lai -- Broke well from wide gate, quickly sent on to dispute lead. Pinched rail 800 M out drawing 2Ls clear. Challenged by runner-up the length of home straight but stayed on well to register solid win.
2 7 PLANET RULER (CB359) D Whyte -- Jumped only fairly, driven and looped field to chase leader 600 M out. Had every chance final 250 M but never quite showed enough determination to get head in front.
3 3 ILIKETOSMILE (CA028) E Legrix P- Ridden to contest lead along fence, outpaced and sat 2Ls off leader going into back straight. Kept on without threatening the first pair in home straight.
4 8 ZINEDINE (BT242) O Doleuze B Jumped awkwardly and outpaced at rear, driven and recovered a little ground 900 M out to be 8Ls off pace on rail. 5Ls down straightening up, minor progress late.
5 9 ACCLAMATION (CB045) W C Marwing P- Hard driven to find midfield position on rail 4 or 5Ls off pace. One-paced in home straight.
6 11 MIGHTY AND GOLD (BT271) F Coetzee B Not far off from difficult alley, unable to keep up rounding the home turn, 5Ls down turning in, just plodded on.
7 1 FLAMENCO STAR (BS321) S Dye B Well back until running past tired runners closing stages.
8 5 FLAGS UP (BS126) G Mosse P-/B2 3-wide in midfield, dropped back a bit going into final turn, never troubled the principles.
9 10 SHOW BRAVELY (CB388) G Schofield B Rear of midfield early, soon dropped to the rear, never in contention.
10 2 WELL EXPRESS (BV023) M Cahill B Broke only fairly, driven hard but only managed position just in front of midfield without cover 4Ls off speed. 4-wide and struggling straightening up, dropped out tamely in straight.
11 6 GOLDEN TACTICS (CB021) M W Leung B/H Jumped very awkwardly, at rear and wide throughout, never on terms.
