1 1 SACRED KINGDOM (CG268) Y T Cheng TT Out with them, slotted in to race 3Ls back on rails, had a soft run in mid-section, angled 2-wide on bend, shifted out on turning and quickly descended to have them covered at 200 M and draw away to win in style.
2 2 SCINTILLATION (CC228) E Saint-Martin XB/H Fair to jump, angled into 1 out 1 back spot 2-3Ls away, no excuse in run, made a 3-wide run approaching turn, headed leaders at 250 M but found winner too good late, fought on bravely all the same. (Lame next day.)
3 7 SANZIRO (CE208) Z Purton B/XB/TT Standard jump, raced 4Ls back on fence, didn't use much in mid-section, saved ground on bend, weaved between horses turning in and closed off strongly doing best work late.
4 4 SUNNY POWER (CG203) B Prebble -- Showed pace from outset to cross them easily, took a trail behind leader, enjoyed run of race in mid-section despite being difficult to settle, didn't get a clear run until it was too late and just held ground last 200 M.
5 5 ABLE PRINCE (CC348) M Nunes CP/TT Out in line, pushed forward to take up running, set a steady tempo in mid-section, held a 1/2Ls advantage on turning in, soon under pressure at 350 M, responded to 200 M but no extra late.
6 6 GOLD STRIKER (CD365) D Whyte -- Began well, pressed forward to race outside leader, helped by steady sections throughout, 1/2L down on turning in, couldn't find extra gear and produced a one-paced finish.
7 3 RIVER JORDAN (CG194) O Doleuze TT Slow into stride, settled 6Ls back at rear, pace against in mid-section, made a 3-wide run on circle, made good progress to 200 M but run ended after being set a big task.
8 8 DANACOURT (CE228) G Boss TT Ordinary jump, raced 5Ls back in 3-wide line, improved 3-wide on bend, 4-wide 2Ls down turning in, unable to offer much dash and quickly under pressure, dropped out tamely.
