HAD Nucleus not won at Marton, where she surprised her - connections, she would have figured m the Douro Cup. .» ■# - * If Llanore can stay out a mile she will take no end of beating m the Douro Cup at Trentham. ** ' * The Pershore filly has pace to burn, and W.Lippingwell, who. rides her, is one of the most capable young riders seen out for a. long time. ' • ■ * . • * ■■''. * The Warden will make his next appearance at Foxton, where he figures m the seven-furlong hack race with 8.9.

He was given a let-up after running- second m the Cup at Marton, but is. m work again with a view to the Wellington Cup.

The going, however, ruined any chance he may have had, but he is to be given another opportunity at Trentham.

If the going at .Trentham is fast, Ceremony will cut out a very sultry five furlongs m the Wellington Stakes. If Honour /also starts, the meeting of this pair should be one of the tit-bits of the meeting. * # « J. E. Palmer, the Waverley sportsman, has owned some good horses m his time. He nearly brought off a big coup at Marton with Warflame m the Dash Hack, m which he was- only just beaten. The filly is trained by M.

Mask, as usual, won a race at Ellersiier* He lightened up a little on the trip, but a. few days' holiday freshened him "Hip, and he should trip m great heart for the Wellington Cup. If the going is firm he will be handy at the finish. *.' * * If Silvermine can stay out. a mile, he will be worth watching m the Summer Handicap on the third day at Trentham. . *■. # * Acred will not race ag^in until the Egmont and Taranaki meetings come round.
