The punters are well but. .## # , Nelson McKinney ls a useful trotter^ but he will never be a top-notcher. In mud he is worth noting. #. # # Nourmahal came home like a sick child at Addington.

'She has a race m view. « . 4 * Herbllwyn declined to leave the mark on each occasion at Addington. He is m at Forbury where two miles should beat him.
