Surface water covered the course proper and it did not open. The plough was in very good order considering the weather. Vigour worked on it with Paper Kiwi, which is also engaged in the Highgate Handicap. Heavy ground is assured for Saturday and will favour Vigour. Others to please yesterday included Shut and Grisbi. which will resume on Saturday after winter spells Vigour IJ. T. Anderson) and Paper Kiwi <R.
