Greenore, winner of' this year's Stewards' Cup, the most important sprint of the year in England, was third behind Figaro and Alluvial in the same event last year. He is rated as one of the best sprinters in England, and in recent assessments has been placed second only to Solenoid. His most important success last year was in the Nottingham Stewards' Handicap, in which, carrying 9.5, he beat Solenoid (9.7) by a short head, with two other previous Stewards' Cup winners, Figaro ' (9.2) and Pharacre (7.11), unplaced. A year

earlier he had also won the Nottingham event with 8.4. His best recent effort; so far as exchanges to hand reveal, was a second to Auld Reekie, to whom he was conceding 271b, in the Salford Borough Handicap, 6 furlongs, at Manchester on June 16. He did not start in the Ascot Royal Hunt Cup.

Almond Hill, who finished second, recently indicated his form by finishing ..fourth in the Royal Hunt Cup, 7 furlongs, won by Priok, at Ascot, on Juno 19, and then on the following day beating all except Easton in the Ribblesdale Stakes, one mile, running the champion to a length. Yesterday's third horse Cora Deans did not start in either of the fillies' classics and she had not shown any other form this year.—"Rangatira."
