Result
Robert Dunne
Dominic Elsworth

Seamus Mullins
Settled midfield early - made ground on front group before 2 out - split rivals to move into second on the run-in - kept responding to finish second beaten a length
Liam Harrison
Max Comley
Held up towards the back early - made progress into contention before two out - unable to close on the front pair into the turn for home - kept plugging away on the run-in to snatch third close to the line

Barry Brennan
Settled at the back - still last of seven and in trouble entering the straight - ran on through gaps on the run-in to finish closest of those behind
