The running was made by Rifleman, who was attended 

 by Glen Royal. Eyeglass, and Uphantes to the stand, 

 where the favourite went to the front. Dairy Lass 

 came down at the water jump, and a mile further on 

 the leadership was assumed by Eoos, who, however, 

 fell when the stand was neared for the second time, 

 and then Fille d'Amour showed the way to Glen Royal, 

 Bird of Flight, Triton, Uphantes, and Pawnbroker. 

 There was little change to be noted until the horses 

 entered the line for home, when Glen Royal went ahead 

 and won by six lengths ; a bad third.
