Merigo jumped right, led until mistake 11th, regained lead next, hard pressed 3 out, kept on gamely from last
Ballabriggs took keen hold, tracked leaders, challenged going well 3 out, blundered and ridden next, kept on same pace run-in
Mr Strachan towards rear, driven and reminders from 6th, rallied before 4 out, kept on from next, not reach first two
Ma Yahab in touch, driven and outpaced from 13th, lost touch from 5 out
Robin De Sherwood held up in touch, headway to chase leaders 5 out, weakened 3 out, blundered next, soon pulled up
Star Player chased leaders, pulled up before 13th, lame
Surricate held up, driven and outpaced after 10th, lost touch next, tailed off when pulled up before 3 out
Raining Horse close up, led 11th to next, every chance when fell 5 out
Ballabriggs looked likely to swallow up the winner turning in but he was being scrubbed along when crashing through the top of two out. He was well held from the last and may have been feeling the ground a little.
Star Player was chasing the leaders was pulled up lame at the 13th. (GB)
