Noel C Kelly
Settled midpack early - moved smoothly into contention after three out - closed on the front-runner - strolled ahead before two out - opened a big gap between the last two flights - allowed to coast home unchallenged
Derek Fox
Lucinda Russell
Up with the front group - moved into contention after the 4th - pushed up to challenge after the 8th - cleared to the front at the 9th and soon in sole command - caught 3 out and soon under pressure - collared approaching 2 out - kept on down the run-in but well held by the winner in 2nd
Conor Ring
Ryan Potter
Settled towards the back early - hit the third and again at the 7th - still within range approaching 2 out - asked for effort soon after - finished strongly late to pass tired horses - always short of contention
Edward Austin (5)
George Bewley
Towards the back - nudged forward from 5th - making ground approaching 9th - jumping was untidy 3 out - pushed hard soon after - kept on doggedly before the last but well held in 4th
Kielan Woods
D J Jeffreys
Set the gallop - challenged after 8th - surrendered advantage at the following fence - briefly up with the front before 3 out - shaken up approaching that obstacle - fell back through the field - kept on at one tempo to finish 5th

Lucinda Russell
Handy early - pressed after 3 out then dropped away - allowed to finish steadily for 6th
