1 11 GOOD NATURE (CE153) C Munce B- Broke well, restrained to race midfield 2 wide 3Ls off speed, enjoyed good run, in traffic entering straight and held up until 200 M, weaved between horses and showed great turn of foot when clear to score easily.
2 6 GOOD BA BA (CE201) C Soumillon SR/TT Began a little awkwardly, urged along to get closer early, raced 3 wide with cover throughout 3Ls from leaders, tracked into race nicely, slow to warm up when clear but chased strongly. Found winner too good.
3 3 GREAT ACHIEVEMENT (CD250) O Doleuze TT Away with them, pressed forward to hold forward position 1 out 1 back 1L off pace, travelled well throughout, on bit entering straight, came with strong run in final 200 M but couldn't match first two.
4 4 PACKING ANGEL (CB223) H W Lai -- Average to begin, drifted back to worse than midfield on rails 4Ls away, spent nothing in run, tracked nicely to turn, angled wide in straight and sprinted hard last 200 M. Doing best work late.
5 14 CRYSTAL (CE209) S Dye B Best away, moved forward from widest gate to hold spot outside leader, raced at leader's girth throughout at slow to even tempo, moved up to challenge on turn and hit lead briefly at 200 M but couldn't sustain effort last bit.
6 9 DASHING THUNDER (CD080) C Brown B Began well, taken back to tail from wide alley, raced in 2nd last position 2 wide 5 to 6Ls off pace, circled field approaching turn, sprinted hard down outside but set too great a task.
7 7 RICE FIELD (CE134) E Saint-Martin TT Fast into stride, restrained to obtain cover, raced in rearward position 4 to 5Ls away, unable to obtain trail, forced to press on 3 and 4 wide with cover, tried hard in straight, workload took toll and battled home.
8 5 DYNAMIC FUN (CB281) R Fradd TT Jumped with them, hard ridden to be first to rails, handed up after 300 M, raced behind leader on rails with run of race from that point, pushed along approaching turn, lacked required dash to figure.
9 10 FASHION JEWELLERY (CD177) D Whyte BO Away with them, pushed along to go forward and take up running, dictated terms in front at slow to even pace, pressured throughout, held 1/2L advantage into stretch, still there until 200 M but couldn't go on.
10 1 BEING FAMOUS (CD018) G Mosse B Average into stride, hard ridden to take closer charge, pushed on to race 3 wide outside leaders without cover, moved up to challenge on turn, workload told and couldn't muster effort to figure in stretch.
11 8 SIKANDER (CG080) S Sanders B Slow to begin, settled in rearward division, 2 wide 4Ls off speed, tracked well in middle stages, made run between horses in straight, lacked another gear to figure in finish.
12 2 SELF FLIT (CB322) A Delpech B Slow to begin, took up spot 3 back on fence 4Ls from front runners, had fair run throughout, followed paint into straight, offered little when asked for final effort.
13 13 SUNBELL (CB391) G Schofield CP Broke with rest, pushed forward but unable to get closer, trapped 4 wide without cover 3 to 4Ls away, pushed on to be a length from them on turn, set too great a task and didn't finish race off.
