Despite being three wide the entire journey, Terbium rolled the hot favourite and maintained his unbeaten record in four starts, making his first attempt at stakes class a winning one. He jumped with them and co-led briefly, then led, only to drop back a shade to third, three wide, down the side. A half length from the lead at the 400m he ranged alongside at the 250m then shot clear inside the 200m, put two lengths on them and the break was too much, being a length and three-quarters up at the line. Hot favourite Zousain was fourth of five down the side, one out, tracked the winner into the straight but was not able to accelerate and had to settle for second. Yulong January, from last turning in, got clear late to rattle into third.
