Result
Billy Loughnane
Craig Lidster
Settled just behind the front markers - moved into second with under 2f left - hit the front a furlong out - pushed out and pulled well away inside the closing stages to score
Cam Hardie
Antony Brittain
Checked and eased right at the break - settled towards the rear - made progress up the far flank inside the final two furlongs - fought on well to grab second close home - no match for the winner
Jack Garritty
Richard Fahey
Tracked pace-setter until two out - shared second place briefly after - dropped away in final furlong to end up third
William Pyle (3)
Katie Scott
Hesitant to settle into gear early - travelled with plenty of enthusiasm towards the back of the group - made strong progress near the rail with 2f left - moved up into second approaching the final furlong and pressed for the lead - eased back to finish fourth
Ben Robinson
Brian Ellison
Far rail of the field - up with the front rank before being pushed along - kept on without the speed to threaten fifth
Sam James
Danny Brooke
Sent to the front early on and dictated a modest gallop - pushed along and lost command inside the last two furlongs - dropped away in the closing stages to finish sixth
Sean Kirrane
Michael Wigham
Checked early - sat with eager head position in 5th - failed to threaten leaders - finished 7th
Faye McManoman
Nigel Tinkler
Held up early against the bit near rear - made no impression thereafter - well held in 8th
