Pianoforte held up on inside, headway to lead entering final furlong, held on well
March Mate tracked leaders going well, led briefly approaching final furlong, soon ridden, kept on final furlong
Only A Grand took keen hold, prominent, driven when edged left over 1f out, one pace final furlong
Riverhill prominent, effort over 2f out, one pace over 1f out
Crosby Jemma behind until headway over 1f out, nearest finish
Contemplation held up, headway when hampered over 1f out and inside final furlong, not recover
Grandad Bill held up, effort outside 3f out, no impression from 2f out
Sarraaf close up, led over 3f out to approaching final furlong, soon no extra

March Mate, who had quite a bit to find at the weights, was travelling like the winner going to the final furlong but could not cope with Pianoforte. He came clear of the third.
Riverhill was close enough if good enough but just plugged on at the one pace.
Crosby Jemma was not able to get in a blow.
Contemplation was the unlucky horse in the race, having twice been hampered at vital times in the last quarter-mile.
