Result
Tom Kiely-Marshall (5)
Philip Kirby
Pulled hard in third - moved up smoothly 4f out - challenged at the front over 2f out and driven - edged ahead over 1f out - ground on resolutely through a prolonged battle to win
Luke Morris
Sir Mark Prescott Bt
Positioned wide in the early stages - hit the front - pressed for effort with 3f to go as rivals closed - urged along 2f out - lost the advantage by a short margin inside the final furlong - fought back gamely all the way to the line - denied by the smallest of margins
Jack Garritty
Jedd O'Keeffe
Fidgety before the off - settled just behind the pace - lost touch with the front three furlongs out and faded to finish third
