Result
Charlie Deutsch
Venetia Williams
Took strong hold early - up into second soon after start - hit the front approaching the 3rd - opened a three-length advantage after that fence - drifted off a straight line before three out - edged further ahead but scratchy two out - finished out the race easily
Sean Bowen
Olly Murphy
Held a forward position early - drifted left over the opening fence - stayed close to the pace - lost momentum three from home - urged along nearing the last - responded strongly on the run to the line - moved into second inside the final stretch but unable to peg back the leader
Henry Brooke
Warren Greatrex
Set the pace - relinquished lead after 2nd and remained up with the front group - jumped sketchily 2 out - left behind by the winner after the last and faded to third
Nick Scholfield
Jane Williams
Settled at the back - urged forward after 3 out and soon toiling - stayed on to take fourth on the run-in
Richard Patrick
Samuel Drinkwater
Held up at the back throughout - under pressure from three out and unable to threaten from two out - stayed on to finish fifth
Charlie Todd
Pam Sly
Handy in the early stages - under pressure and losing touch 3 out - well beaten from 2 out - finished 6th
