b g Dubawi (IRE) - Miss Particular (IRE) (Sadler's Wells)
Held up, tailed off in last after 3rd, some progress before 3 out, pushed along and finished with some zest after last (jockey said, regarding running and riding, that his orders were to jump out handily and drop the gelding into the field, however, he was unable to carry these out as it was unsuited by the fast pace and it had hung left-handed from the top bend, second circuit and, had been unsuited by the soft (good to soft in places) ground)

b g Vertical Speed (FR) - Chancy Hall (IRE) (Saddlers' Hall)
Chased clear leading trio to 3rd, weakened 5th, soon tailed off (jockey said, regarding running and riding, that his orders were to jump out handily and keep the gelding competitive, the leaders went off very fast and, with hindsight, he might have been better suited by racing further off the pace, it was one-paced when asked for an effort and, in his opinion, obtained the best possible placing; trainer said the ride given accorded to her instructions and the gelding may be better suited by a longer distance in the future)
