Double Mead jumped well, always prominent, led 7th, clear approaching 2 out, comfortably
Mystical Star tracked leaders, went 2nd approaching 8th, kept on but no chance with winner from 2 out
Vibe in rear, stayed on after 3 out but never near to challenge
Romany Dream made most until headed 7th, weakened approaching 2 out
Black Legend in rear when hit 8th, no chance after, tailed off
Go Johnny Go in touch until ridden 6th, soon well behind, tailed off
Mystical Star finds finishing second somewhat easier than winning. This was an eighth runners-up finish from 15 starts since gaining his only previous chasing success and he was looking at minor money in the final half mile.
Romany Dream appreciated the better ground but after disputing the running for a circuit gradually dropped away.
