Result
Callum Shepherd
David Simcock
Start hampered by an unbalanced leap - tracked the front group - made headway on the inside 3f out - driven on 2f out - contesting second place while drifting right over a furlong out - fought back to lead by a small margin inside the final furlong - kept finding more but veered right away from the rail and brushed the other contender close home - edged in front but placed second in the finish
Hector Crouch
Ed Dunlop
Settled in second early - driven to the front two furlongs out while drifting slightly left - put in front briefly inside the final furlong then shaken up with rivals jostling in close quarters late - battled back gamely to prevail by a whisker at the line
Rob Hornby
Robert Stephens
Sat close to the front group early - driven out with two furlongs left - unable to find further gain - finished third
Rose Dawes (5)
Sheena West
Set the pace early under encouragement - lost front spot 2f out then knocked about while battling for second over 1f out - asked for more late but couldn't find any and finished fourth
