Rossa Ryan
Alan King
Made the running and pulled the pack towards the middle of the straight - displaced over 2f out - outpaced and beaten into second inside the final 2f
Faleh Bughenaim
Andrew Balding
Settled in third early - looked raw and needed encouragement approaching halfway - lost touch inside final 2f and allowed to finish in own time
