Wild Chase looks in splendid order after the. trip to Wellington and ran seven furlongs nicely on the plough in Imin 29 2-ssec. He pulled up well. . Top Notch is also in nice order and covered nine furlongs on the outside of the course proper, the last mile taking Imin 43sec. ■ Dungarvan is a picture of condition and was eager to gallop, but was kept back to useful work on the. course proper. . - Emissary broke away from his rider and sprinted , over half a mile in 49 j sec, the last three furlongs in 36.2-5 sec. He has never looked in better order and promises to run a greatrace in the Stewards' Handicap.
