Result
Luke Morris
Dylan Cunha
Settled around midfield - moved into contention 3f out then angled left to press the pace 2f out - pushed along a furlong out in a prolonged battle - edged ahead close home to score
Rossa Ryan
Ralph Beckett
Tracked the front group early - asked for effort 2f out and moved into second - locked in a fierce battle in the closing stages - drifted left under pressure late and went down by a nose
Jonny Peate
Oli Rix
Settled towards the back - moving smoothly through the field - made progress inside final two furlongs - fourth with a furlong left - driven approaching the final 100yds - improved into third late but lacked the speed to land the podium spot
Cieren Fallon
Roger Varian
Up with the two ahead - shifted left approaching 2f out - pressed on to hit the top 2f out and briefly in command - pressed hard from either flank over 1f out - gave way final 110yds - tight for room in the closing strides and dropped to 4th
Daniel Muscutt
James Fanshawe
Settled in the pack - pushed along with two furlongs left - kept going without finding extra gear - finished fifth beaten 2.25 lengths
Joe Leavy
Richard Hannon
Tracked leading group early - hit the front approaching 2f out then lost that advantage before the furlong marker - eased back through the field to finish sixth
Cam Hardie
Brian Ellison
Set the pace early - urged for effort with three furlongs left before losing the front spot over two out - dropped away meekly late to finish seventh
Harry Davies
Simon & Ed Crisford
Sluggish start - settled near the back - urged forward with over 2f left before dropping away and finishing well held
