2 | 7 | DELIGHTFUL WIN (CC154) | B Prebble | TT | Average to begin, lacked early speed and settled worse than midfield, 4 back on rails 5 to 6Ls away throughout, travelled nicely to turn, weaved between horses in straight (checked 300 M), closed off nicely late. |
3 | 4 | VIKING TOR (CE207) | R Fradd | CP1 | Jumped with them, allowed to settle in midfield, raced 2 wide 6Ls away, enjoyed easy trip to turn, still well back on straightening (steadied 400 M), eased out and came with strong run to be closest at finish. Better effort. |

5 | 9 | PRIME DELIGHT (CE193) | S Dye | B1 | Stumbled out and bumped early, restrained to angle into midfield trailing position, 2 wide 4 to 5Ls away thereafter, pushed into clear at 300 M but lacked real dash when asked. Closed race off evenly. |
6 | 2 | AWARD (CE111) | O Doleuze | TT | Average to begin, showed no early dash, took up running near rear, raced 2 wide in mid-section 8Ls away, had job to do with field to beat on turn, closed race off nicely between horses to be nearest at line. |
7 | 11 | MASTER MARAUDER (CA184) | E Saint-Martin | -- | Fast into stride, amongst first few early, allowed to roll on and sit at leaders girth, always working to cart up without cover, laid down gauntlet at 300 M. Ran out of energy at 200 M and was one-paced to line. |
