1 3 ATULLIBIGEAL (G173) B Avdulla B/H/XB Jumped on terms, sat ahead of midfield, squeezed through a narrow gap 200M, knuckled down really well to grab the lead close home.
2 9 SUPERB BOY (G335) A Badel TT In a handy spot behind leaders, poised to strike 400M, gave good response when asked, wrestled the lead inside 150M, couldn't hold off winner late.
3 2 DROMBEG BANNER (H117) A Atzeni -- From draw 1 led as expected, continued on well early straight, caught passing 150M, couldn't go with first two late.
4 5 GUMMY GUMMY (H089) C L Chau B Settled in mid-division, hard driven 400M, responded well early straight but peaked on its run 150M.
5 6 ALACRITY (H210) K Teetan PC/XB/TT Taken back to a position behind midfield, 5-6Ls to make up 400M, stayed on mildly without troubling first 3.
6 8 YOUTHFUL DEAL (G340) B Thompson SR/TT Held up behind midfield along the fence, only battled in the straight and got home fairly. No threat to leaders.
7 7 FIND MY LOVE (H110) M L Yeung H/TT Shifted across from wide draw and settled near last, swung widest 500M before finishing off moderately. Never a winning hope.
8 4 KEEFY (G306) K C Leung B Prominently ridden to be racing outside leader, fought on one paced early straight, crowded for room 200M, no extra late.
9 10 BERLIN TANGO (E120) M F Poon B/H/TT Jumped only fairly, settled at the back of the field 7-8Ls away, plenty to do at 400M but failed to run on.
10 12 SILVER KING (H420) M Chadwick TT Caught wide no cover chasing leaders, wasn't able to finish the race off from 400M.
11 1 GOOD LUCK FRIEND (D228) Y L Chung CP/TT Crowded after the start, chased leaders 2-wide, had nothing left passing 300M and dropped out sharply.
TNP 11 GLOBAL HARMONY (G337) Z Purton CP-/B1 Refused to jump and took no part in the event. (Entries in races and barrier trials will be refused until a final determination in respect to the racing future of the horse has been made.)
