Result
Joe Anderson (3)
Emma Lavelle
Settled second early - scrappy leap 3rd - up behind pacesetter approaching 3 out - hit front 2 out - powered away before the last - strolled home unopposed
Harry Atkins (7)
Dan Skelton
Fired up beforehand - went straight to front though fighting rider early - drifted left over opening obstacle - dictated a fast gallop - shot clear turning into straight - overtaken two out - unable to match winner's pace and clipped final fence - stayed on without threatening up the run-in for second
Conor Ring
Evan Williams
Settled in third early - pressed the front group after 3 out then lost touch approaching the final furlong marker - stayed on for third but never able to trouble the front two
Jonathan Burke
Jane Williams
Settled off the pace early - awkward over the first two obstacles - needed encouragement following a scrappy leap four out - driven on from three out - found extra to close the gap before the last - stayed on well to edge fourth under pressure late
Ellis Collier (7)
Evan Williams
Held up towards the back - made ground into contention before 4 out - lost pace from 3 out - stayed on but narrowly missed fourth close home
Harry Kimber
Jane Williams
Towards the back - jumped poorly at the 3rd - detached at the foot of the field on the second lap - niggled at after 3 out and left well behind before 2 out - a remote 6th at the finish
