Result
Daniel King
Connor King
Front from the off - well to the fore by the 4th - leapt boldly at the 7th - margin trimmed with a minor error 3 out - pulled away before the last to score readily
Mark Walsh
Gordon Elliott
Settled towards the back early - hesitant at the second and a touch untidy at the 7th needing a nudge - pushed along four out - unable to close after that - finished strongly to grab second on the run-in - never able to trouble the winner
Jack Kennedy
Jonathan Sweeney
Settled just behind the front group - in third and unhurried by halfway - hint of a stumble at the 8th - improved into second three out - drifted right two out - pressed for effort but couldn't get to the front-runner before the last - stayed on at one speed then eased back to third on the run-in
Paul Townend
W P Mullins
Sat just behind the pace early - up to 2nd by halfway - into 3rd but bobbled 3 out - pressed for effort yet made no headway and stayed one-paced to finish 4th
