1 5 SHINING DAY (CE163) F Coetzee CP/TT Took up running 1st turn. Kept on gamely and held off the challenge from 2nd horse quite comfortably final 200 M.
2 7 COTTON BALL (CD327) D Whyte -- Settled behind the pace in 4th or 5th position. Headway rounding home bend to 3rd turning in. Ran on well to be nearest at finish but was always held off by the winner.
3 1 DRAGON STRIDE (CC370) A Delpech -- Around 2L behind the leader and on rail. Ran on in straight until one-paced final 100 M out did enough to claim a distant 3rd.
4 11 WINNING SMILE (CC177) M Rodd -- Mostly behind midfield but trapped wide both turns. Ran on steadily to be nearest at finish. Good effort considering the extra distance covered.
5 8 ESPRIT D'OR (CD295) G Schofield TT Soon midfield and on rail. Ran on in straight until not quickened final 100 M.
6 4 SUPER FIGHTER (CE167) E Saint-Martin V In touch but had no cover and difficult to settle in the early stages. Tightened 1st turn and dropped to midfield or better. One-paced in straight.

10 13 BRAVERY LUCK (CE108) C Brown B Crowded at start before settling in midfield and was checked at 1300 M. Never a factor in straight.
