Richard Fahey
Fretful before the start - settled wide amid the pack - dropped back approaching the turn - driven and toiling towards the tail 3f out - rallied out wide in the closing stages to grab third
Shane Foley
Mrs John Harrington
Took a strong hold early - hit the front and set the pace - pressed for effort and just lost command inside the final furlong - unable to find more and slipped back to finish 4th
Rossa Ryan
Ralph Beckett
Settled just off the pace in third on the inner - under pressure and drifting left inside the final furlong - faded to finish fifth
Callum Shepherd
George Scott
Sluggish start - held up towards rear - pushed along inside final furlong - shaved off a little ground late but no factor in finish
George Bass
Jack Channon
Sat close to the pace early - asked for effort over 2f out and gave way inside final 2f - dropped away steadily to finish seventh
