Result
Jack Kennedy
Gordon Elliott
Set the pace early - drifted left approaching the 4th - matched up by rivals soon after and stumbled when knocked back - lying second by the midpoint - shared front spot again 4 out with another left-ward wander - back in command turning into the straight under pressure - asked for more before the last and hit that one - kept finding more to hold on
Danny Gilligan
Gordon Elliott
Settled just off the leaders early - minor error at the 7th - into 3rd and asked for effort turning in - moved up to 2nd approaching 2 out - couldn't find more when asked - stayed on to finish second
Daniel King
John Patrick Ryan
Sat close up early - shared front spot 6th before going clear - caught again 4 out - driven and put behind entering straight - stayed 3rd late but faded steadily
Kieren Buckley
Eddie & Patrick Harty
Settled handy early but scrappy over early obstacles - clipped the third and fifth awkwardly - still in contention off the pace at halfway - urged forward with five to go - errored three out and soon lost impetus - drifted back into fourth after that - finished well behind
Darragh O'Keeffe
Henry De Bromhead
Sat close to pace in 3rd - asked for effort turning into straight and briefly into 2nd - unable to find more in 3rd before falling 2 out
