There were no excuses for the beaten runners here, Savaheat giving them a start and flying past in the straight to win handsomely. He jumped with them but soon drifted back through the pack to settle last in a compact field. Rounding the last corner he went widest and while still some lengths adrift when they straightened, balanced up and left them to it for an impressive win. Glam Guru was second last and wide, just in front of the winner before straightening, raced up to the leader but was left standing by the winner over the last 100m from favourite Box On Collins who took over the lead turning in, tried to break clear but could merely hold on for third.
