Prime Number rousted along from start, pressed leader, led halfway, driven clear from 3f out, at least 8 lengths clear over 1f out, held on
Show Winner held up in midfield, progress over 2f out, chased clear winner well over 1f out, closed final furlong but unable to challenge
Artreju dwelt, held up in midfield, effort over 2f out, went modest 3rd over 1f out, found little but just held on for 3rd
Man Of Gwent held up in rear, effort on wide outside 3f out, no chance of reaching leading pair but kept on
Accompanist steadied start and dropped in from wide draw, held up in last pair, no chance from 2f out, stayed on from over 1f out
Uig held up in rear, ridden and struggling 3f out, plugged on from over 1f out
Ryedale Ovation dwelt, held up in rear, never on terms and no chance final 2f
Happy As Larry chased clear leading pair over 2f out, soon weakened
Stargazer Jim prominent in chasing group, no impression 3f out, weakened soon after 2f out
Tinnarinka raced freely, led to halfway, chased winner until weakened well over 1f out
Touch Of Style chased leading pair, hit rail after 2f, soon lost place, behind 3f out, virtually pulled up final 2f
John Akehurst takes the view that his grey is better going flat out over a mile and a quarter and those tactics always looked like paying off after Prime Number shrugged off the attentions of free-going Tinnarinka entering the home straight. The winner went around ten lengths clear, and though coming back to the staying-on Show Winner, never lookedlike surrendering his advantage. It was a wide margin back to Arteju in third.
