Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 9 | TIME WARP (A066) | Z Purton | TT | Crossed to the lead 1600M, enjoyed uncontested lead setting slow and steady pace, quickened and shot 2Ls clear 300M, showed no signs of stopping to line. Impressive victory. |
| 2 | 4 | WERTHER (V083) | T Berry | -- | Settled down midfield in a steadily run race, 4-5Ls off the pace middle stages, switched away from rails 600M, ran on well to go 2nd near 200M, tried but couldn't get closer to runaway winner. |
| 3 | 2 | NEOREALISM (A609) | J Moreira | XB | Jumped well from draw 1, raced keenly when crossed by rival passing 1600M, poised to strike 450M, went 2nd 300M out, kept on well but couldn't bridge the gap on winner, lost 2nd near 150M. |
| 4 | 5 | STAPHANOS (T622) | H Bowman | H | Reserved towards the rear in a steadily run race, 6-7Ls off leader middle stages, into clear 300M, stayed on well. |
| 5 | 12 | SMART LAYER (A619) | Y Take | H/TT | Moved up gradually to track leader one out one back, had every chance turning home, lost 2nd near 300M, kept battling to the line but well held by leaders. |
| 6 | 3 | POET'S WORD (B812) | A Atzeni | XB | Held up 3rd last, not helped by slow pace proved very difficult to settle after 1300M, driven widest 600M, ran on mildly on straightening, never looked likely. |
| 7 | 6 | SECRET WEAPON (S217) | N Rawiller | TT | Dropped back to the rear on jumping, raced as the back-marker until 900M, didn't quicken enough on straightening, never a serious threat to leaders. |
| 8 | 7 | ROBIN OF NAVAN (B813) | S Clipperton | XB | Began well, restrained to a 2-wide position in midfield, from 550M switched wider to challenge, one paced in straight. |
| 9 | 8 | GARLINGARI (A616) | S Pasquier | CP | Caught 3-wide early stages before finding cover behind leaders entering back-straight, driven along 500M, tried but failed to make any impression. |
| 10 | 10 | WAR DECREE (B814) | J Heffernan | XB | Behind midfield in the 8th spot, just over 5Ls behind leaders, brought wide 550M, didn't quicken under pressure. No threat at any stage. |
| 11 | 1 | DEAUVILLE (B811) | R Moore | B/XB | Away well enough to be just over 3Ls from leaders in steadily run race, kept to inside throughout, faded in the run to the line. |
| 12 | 11 | BLOND ME (B815) | O Murphy | XB | Crowded for room on jumping, travelled keenly after 1500M, shuffled back to the rear entering back-straight, swung wide 550M but didn't respond to riding, never a factor. |
