Seventeen paraded for the Apprentices' Plate, and Llanore ( £1720) was favourite, with Stanchion ( £1501) and Grand Acre ( £930) the next best backed. Paquito, Clarendon, Wine Tray, and Llanore were the most prominent at the start, but when a furlong had been covered Grand Acre was in charge from Llanore, Sylvan Dell, Clarendon, Topere, Filosol, and Wine Tray.
