The winner dominated the early pace and soon had the field in trouble. John Reid's mount was clear at the distance but Pat Eddjry really got down to work and at the line there was just a short-head between them. The verdict in favour of Mick Haznjs' winner was a huge relief fo owner Russel Day who has had four photo-finishes go against him at Kempton in recent years.
