Brampton also shaped well. Wild Country, Art Gallery and Lady Court were to : have gone five furlongs, but the last named broke away on her own. and completed the distance in 1.7 2-5, Wild Country and Art Gallery taking 1.7 4-5. 7<Jo. 2 Grass.

The Jumpers. Great Emblem (H. Dulieu) was given a further schooling lesson over a pony hurdle. He got tangled up in the fence once, but extricated himself cleverly. He also baulked once, but when tried again jumped well. Cat-i-nics (J. Burgess) and Good Boy (C. Butler) gave their best display to date over a round of the schooling hurdles.
