Further alterations occurred in tho discussions on tho Victoria Grand National Hurdles to 1m run nt Fleniington on July 5, following upon tho withdrawal of Epical. This gelding was ono of tho early publio fancies, but met with a mishap while schooling and it necessitated his ownertrainer, H. Gymcr, taking him out of tha event, This in tho second year in succession that Gymcr has had to scratch Epical for the Grand National Hurdles. Thera is now nothing between Bay of Biscay, Mosstrooper and Horoscope for favouritism, while Gipsy Verso Lad advanced prominently, as has Songifl, who ran second ill tho A.J.C. Hurdles at Randwick. Announcer is another candiduto who has gained moro friends. Horoscope, who is by Absurd—Lady Bull, was bred by Mr. W. G. Stead, of Hawko's Bay, and is a half-brother to Gay Ballcriua.
