Silvermine, the winner, paid a double figure dividend, and Cliildsplay was at almost as good a price to win. Silvermine, Consent, Ohildsplay and Oimabue, on tho outside, and Silver Paper, Royal Tractor and UOyal Saxon on the inside, appeared to begin best, while Arrow Lad Was squeezed back. Silvermine and Childsplay led on to the. course proper from Solrose, Consent, Bright Glow and_ Oimabue, with Crown Area coming through on the inside, Silvermine and Childsplay drew away over the last furlong. ‘ Silvermine winning by half a. length aright Alow was two lengths away, and then came Crown Area, Booster, Arrow Lad, Royal Saxon, Cimahue and Royal Tractor.

Hoylake being about six lengths clear of Beau Gesto and Shining Armour, with Rotor and Oratrix another two length si away and then came Lucy Locket, Beacon light-, Pink Note ant! Set Sail. The mile and a quarter was run in 2min. Bsec., and Hoylake was coming back to his field, the closest to him still being Beau Geste, Shining Armour, Rotor and Oratrix. with Rapier and Pink Note handy. Hoylake turned for home just ahead of Beau Geste, Rotor and "Oratrix, with Rapier putting in great work. Oratrix had collared Hoylake a furlong from_ homo and Rapier was sticking to his work. Oratrix had enough advantage to heat Rapier home hv half a length, with Hoylake a length away third. Beau Ge-sto was fourth and then came in order Pink Note. Rotor, Beacon light, Shining Armour, Set Sail and Lucy Locket, with Black Mint and Count Cavour last.. The public placed the horses correctly.
