| b g Dylan Thomas (IRE) - Chelsey Jayne (IRE) (Galileo) | ||||||||||
| Soon led and clear, allowed an uncontested lead and 20 lengths ahead at halfway, pushed along 3f out, ridden 2f out, kept on strongly, unchallenged | ||||||||||

| b g First Defence (USA) - Dixie Quest (USA) (Coronado's Quest) | ||||||||||
| Disputed 2nd until headway to chase winner 5f out, took closer order over 3f out, ridden over 2f out, soon driven and no impression (jockey said, regarding the running that his instructions were to sit handily as the gelding has only previously won over 1 mile and give it the best chance of finishing) | ||||||||||
|
3 | 813 | 77 | 37 | 67 | – | ||||
| b g Sir Prancealot (IRE) - Bond Deal (IRE) (Pivotal) | ||||||||||
| Tracked leaders, effort and pushed along 4f out, ridden over 3f out, plodded on one pace (jockey said, regarding the running that his instructions were to stay as handy as he could, and he felt that as the leader had gone very quick, he was happy to sit in behind. Edmunds added that he asked for an effort down the back straight as they were travelling down the hill, but gelding came off the bridle before 3f out) | ||||||||||

4 | 93 | 70 | 30 | 59 | – | ||||
| b f Cape Cross (IRE) - Million Waves (IRE) (Mull Of Kintyre) | ||||||||||
| Raced in 2nd, 20 lengths behind winner halfway, pushed along 5f out, driven along well over 3f out, soon one pace (jockey said, regarding the running that his instructions were to ride him as he found him, as he has ridden the horse several times before. Norton added that the winner had gone off very quickly as he had done on its previous run at Musselburgh, and on that occasion had stopped quickly. Norton further added that he was unable to gather a rhythm and was outpaced down the back straight) | ||||||||||

| b g Lawman (FR) - Few Are Chosen (IRE) (Sulamani) | ||||||||||
| Held up, always in rear (jockey said, regarding the running that her instructions were to drop in behind as gelding ran too free last time out, and it had taken her a furlong to get the gelding settled. She stated that she had tried to ride the horse the same way today, and followed Fulham into the race, thinking the winner would stop) | ||||||||||

8 | 90 t | 67 | 10 | 41 | – | ||||
| b g Hurricane Run (IRE) - Darabela (IRE) (Desert King) | ||||||||||
| Held up, always in rear, behind from over 3f out (jockey said, regarding the running that his instructions were to sit midfield and he added that the gelding had its head turned awkwardly jumping out of the gates so he was immediately in behind, and he felt the gelding was beaten from 7 furlongs out) | ||||||||||
|
4 | 91 | 75 | 14 | 45 | – | ||||
| b g Henrythenavigator (USA) - Sunshine For Life (USA) (Giant's Causeway) | ||||||||||
| Held up, always in rear, behind from over 3f out (jockey said, regarding the running that due to his blindfold being tucked in tightly and the gelding shaking its head as he tried to remove it, he was therefore slowly away and unable to carry out his instructions to take the lead. He further stated however, that he felt he had obtained the best possible position as the gelding was unable to go with them) | ||||||||||
