Priceless Blake from trap 3 was quickest away with a split of 4.9 to claim the valuable rails position ahead of Magical Bale (4.96) and Droopys Expert (4.97) who suffered bumping at the first bend. This enabled Priceless to lead from Ballymac Tas and Skywalker Logan around the first, while at the second bend this order was maintained, where Clonbrien Prince on the outside was baulked and lost all chance. As they approached the final bend Priceless Blake continued to hold a narrow lead, making all to hold off Ballymac Tas by half a length, with Skywalker Logan just a head back in third. The strongly fancied Magical Bale never threatened after his first bend bump and could manage only fourth, a further 3 3/4 lengths behind, with Droopys Expert a length and three-quarters back in fifth, while Clonbrien Prince finished some 9 lengths behind the winner.
