Settled just off the pace on the rails - front-runner opened a gap by the 6th - clouted the 10th - hit the front turning into the 14th - opened up well before two out - shaky jump at the final fence but always holding on
Danny McMenamin
Ann Hamilton
Held up in 3rd - inherited 2nd at the 14th - under pressure before 4 out and beaten by the winner before 2 out - finished a distant 2nd but far ahead of the rest
Alan Doyle (5)
Lucinda Russell
Held up in 4th early - moved into 3rd but clear of leaders by 14th - dropped away and well held late
Kevin Brogan
Olly Murphy
Wide in the field - took up the running and leapt fluently before a stumble on touching down at the 1st - forged ahead at the 6th - catastrophic mistake at the 14th and unseated rider
