Result
William Buick
Charlie Appleby
Sent to front and dictated an even tempo - shaken up and found more approaching 2f out - driven inside final furlong - battled on to prevail by a whisker - never seriously threatened
Silvestre De Sousa
Roger Varian
Held eagerly early - eased back among the rear group down the inner - hampered for room from over 2f out - looking for a gap on the rail and checked again 1f out - found space to finish strongly inside the last furlong - moved into second close home - denied by a whisker
Hector Crouch
Andrew Balding
Settled up with the pace on the inner - briefly second from 6f out until the 5f marker then sat close up third - shifted off the rail approaching the last two furlongs - made progress through rivals a furlong out to challenge for second inside the final furlong - lost momentum near the finish and dropped back to third - held for the rest of the way to the line
Tom Marquand
William Haggas
Settled with eagerness early - sat just behind the pace in third - moved up to challenge for second with 5f remaining - pushed along a furlong out - gave up the runner-up spot inside the closing stages - faded to finish fourth
Hollie Doyle
John & Thady Gosden
Held up wide in 4th taking a strong hold - driven and drifting right approaching 2f out - kept on under pressure into the final furlong but lacked the speed to challenge and finished 5th
Billy Loughnane
Paul & Oliver Cole
Settled at the back early - shifted into contention wide with a furlong left - drifted right but stayed on for sixth without a real turn of foot
