Adult lias recovered from his mishap at Trent ham and will, take part in the finish, whilfe Mount Boa would appear to be the bast of the remainder. 12.35 p.m. NOVICE STAKES, of 35 sovs. Six furlongs.

First View-'won tiie event 12 months ago. and is still eligible, and on his recent track work he is entitled to be favourite. Coalpit and Pompeii should also command strong support. 1.10 p.m. — WINTER TROT HANDICAP, of 40 sovs. 3min. 43sec class. One mile and a half. Sylvie's Best per Smithy scr Marie Potis scr Ivan de Oro scr Locust scr Master Garry scr Bamboozle scr Bondholder scr Erin's Guy scr Airflow (T.) 24 Sea Peter scr .• lipnlong 30 The trotting filly Airflow is a class above the others engaged in the Winter Handicap, and she should L 'o out a warm favourite. A grass track suits her nicely, and her Foibury Park failures may be forgotten. Minor placing.; may be idled by Ivan de Oro and Slipalong.

1.45 p.m. HUNT CLUB GUI' STEEPLECHASE HANDICAP, of 40 sovs. About two miles and a quarter. st. lb. st. lb.

On r.er :;r.c>vins; in her first race at Ashbm'ton, Fiom. can bo expected to show pror.iui.euce, and the next best may oc Landy ilea and Starlight.

2.20 pi» V/AIHAO HACK HANDICAP, of 40 :;ov.». Six furlong?;. st. lb. St. lb. Knuckthi 9 H Pompeii 7 8 Golden Dart 8 G Violenta 7 7 Importance C 0 Quern Elgindale 7 9 Dorothy 7 1 Call Money 7 '< Knocklm v.'lll make her reappearance after a Ion?.: absence in the Waihso Hack Handicap, and in spite of her big weight for h small mare, she should hold the comparatively weak opposition safe. Golden Dart seems to be the only one likely to trouble her. 2.55 p.m.— MOEVEN HANDICAP, of 60 .sovs. Onemile, st. ib. st.ib. Waver Heather Power U 3 Glow 7 3 3 Cleaner 8 \ Captivate 7 7 The club is unfortunate In getting ::uch a poor response in the only open event, the Morven Handicap, but the four runner:-' should nevertheless have a clo.se tussle. Water Power's form i't Trentham was so poor that she will have little chance with either Cleaner or Heather Glow, unless the track should be very soft. Cleaner will probablv be a better favourite than Heather Glow.

:;.30 p.m.— HUNTERS' PLAT.-: FLAT HANDICAP, of 30 sovs. One mile' and a quarter. st. lb. st. lb. Arau'dnc 11 3 Colonel Trisox 11 3 Quex 10 8 Fiat Lux 11 3 Cappy Peterette 10 13 Ricks 10 7 Auster 10 0 Red Sceptre 10 7 An evenly balanced field will parade for the Hunters' Plate, and, without any outstanding candidate, investments will be distributed over the eight starters. Araulirie and Trisox have figured prominently in similar events, and they will probably dispute favouritism, but on Fiat Lux's form, when trained at Hiccarton, he should keep this pair busy. 4.5 p.m.— WAIMATE HACK HANDICAP, of 50 sovs. Seven furlongs, st. lb. Ft. lb. Blazon ft 2 Wonderful 710 Golden Dart 8 0 First View 7 8 Importance 8 8 Call Money 7 9 Impala 7 10 Should Golden Dart be reserved for the Waimate Hack Handicap, he will be in keen demand, and the same applies to Importance, who will be better served over this distance than in her earlier engagement. Blazon and Impala should also run well, while First. View, even if making his second appearance, will have to be considered. The best supported may be Importance and, First View.
