Mon Star dwelt on the mark, The Begum, Coruscate, Valour and Avon Court getting away in a line, closely attended by Look Out, Armenia and Section. At the end of the first furlong Volimond, The Begum and Avon Court were the leaders, and these three came into the straight on terms, followed by Look Out, Coruscate, Valour, Red Lion and Section.

Next were Nankin Blue, Coruscate (who ran very green). The Begum, Look Out, Section and Armenia, with Mon Star tailed off.
