1 | 9 | HOLMES LEGEND (N375) | D Whyte | H | Settled nicely ahead of midfield, in 5th place turning for home, quickened up well under confident riding, swept past the leaders inside 100M for a back to back victory. |
2 | 1 | FAT CHOY HONG KONG (N253) | O Doleuze | TT | Caught wide first 400M, crossed to the lead 1100M, quickened up again passing 300M, unable to fend off winner final 100M but held on for 2nd well. |

4 | 5 | NOBLE BOY (M206) | T Angland | -- | Held up at the rear along the 2-path,7Ls off the pace as they settled, nudged along 450M, made stealthy headway in straight to be nearest at finish. |

6 | 4 | WRATH OF FIRE (CL420) | Z Purton | -- | Towards the rear, taken to a 3-wide spot entering back straight, ran on fairly turning home and never a serious threat to leaders. |
7 | 7 | EMPEROR CLAUDIUS (M128) | K Teetan | P/XB | Tracked leader in a 2-wide position, had no cover until reaching home turn, driven and no impression on leaders early straight, faded passing 200M. |

10 | 6 | GRIFFINDOR (P153) | N Callan | H/SB | Fractious in stalls, slowly away, travelled in mid-division first half, shuffled back a bit passing 800M, not picked up when pressed along leaving the bend. (Lame next day.) |
11 | 11 | ELEGANCE KLAMMER (M228) | M Chadwick | TT2 | Began well, restrained to race behind mid-division, kept on same pace final 400M, never factored. |
