On jumping TAMAATHUL (GB) had to be steadied and lost ground when tightened for room between FARMLEIGH HOUSE (IRE) and ROI DE VITESSE (IRE), which shifted in. RAFEEJ (GB) and KRYPTON FACTOR (GB) both raced wide without cover. Passing the 800 metres COMPLICATE (AUS), which was over-racing, had to be steadied to avoid the heels of KRYPTON FACTOR (GB). For a short distance rounding the home turn RUSSIAN SOUL (IRE) was held up for a clear run. On straightening UNITED COLOR (USA) was disappointed for a run on the inside of PEARL FLUTE (IRE) and consequently restrained. COMPLICATE (AUS) lay inwards over the final 200 metres. The Stewards reprimanded a barrier attendant under the provisions of ERA Rule 20(xiv) for striking RUSSIAN SOUL (IRE) on the hindquarter whilst the gelding was under the control of the Starter during the start of the race.

Acting on a report from the Starter, who stated that EMPOLI (GER) was unable to be loaded, Stewards ordered the withdrawal of the colt at 9:45 pm. Mr P Schiergen (EMPOLI (GER)) was notified that prior to the colt being entered to race again it must complete one satisfactory stalls test. SHEIKHZAYEDROAD (GB) and AUSSIES REIGNS (IRE) were both slow to begin. ADROITLY (AUS) over-raced in the early stages. Near the 2200 metres DORMELLO (IRE) when racing tight on the inside of VASILY (GB) buffeted with that horse losing ground. Shortly after DABADIYAN (IRE) shifted inwards holding VASILY (GB) tight as BANK OF BURDEN (USA) shifted outwards with DORMELLO (IRE) being restrained. Stewards warned Jockey S Foley (DABADIYAN (IRE)) and advised that he must ensure adequate racing room for horses on his inside. After this incident VASILY (GB) commenced to race keenly. SHEIKHZAYEDROAD (GB) lay inwards the home straight. MEANDRE (FR) lay outwards in the straight. During the running of the race, ZIP TOP (IRE) lost its right-fore plate.
