Veldette (Sexton), having her first' fast work since racing at Trentham, ■hit out nicely over fivo furlongs in 1.5 2-5.

He claims relationship to the good cross-country performers Coalition and Passin' Thru'. Studejit Prince (Grindlay) gavo his usual safe display over five hurdles. With the softening of the tracks ho has been working in improved style. Disturbed (Toki) traversed two rounds over hurdles yesterday in pleasing fashion, jumping six fences in all. .'
