Sired by the United States bred stallion Fasliyev from the Centaine mare Slight Chance, Bolton Abbey $6, who is under the care of David Hayes and had Chad Lever in the saddle, was not very far off the lead for the entire 1410 metre race. Facing the starter for the sixth time and recording his third win, the second at Cheltenham, Bolton Abbey beat the Richard Jolly trained David Carney mount Soowee, the $2.80 favourite. Leon Macdonald and Clare Lindop were associated with Urbanvue $4.40, who was a length away third.

Punters could not separate the $3.50 equal favourite, the winner Musidora and the unplaced Shasmecka in the 1000 metre second race. A two-year- old of Rock Of Gibraltar filly from the Bering mare Nice Dancing, the David Hayes trained Paul Gatt ridden Musidora was near the rear of the field in the early and middle stages then, getting a rails run, she went on record a one and quarter length win.

The Chad Lever ridden Fontaine's Fantasy $15 completed the quinella for the Hayes stable. A farther two lengths away was Spanish Diva $7.50 for Gary Searle and Jason Lyon.

A length winner and starting at $6 the Octagonal mare is from Londolozi, an El Qahira mare. Settling in the middle of the field and then being one off the rails, Londo went on to defeat the Joe Lockyer trained Dominic Tourneur mount Sparking Top $21.
