Handy early - moved up to challenge 3 out - took up the running before 2 out and hard at work - jumped the last untidily before giving way on the run-in to finish second
Stan Sheppard
Tom Lacey
Settled with plenty of enthusiasm early - up with the pace early on then stumbled at the 2nd - pushed along in pursuit before a mistake 2 out - faded soon after and dropped from second - made no further headway on the run to the line to finish third
Ciaran Gethings
