MINOR JUMPING EVENTS
RECENT FORM WILL BE FOLLOWED They are not a very strong lot in the Hunters’ Hurdles, but the double-winner at the Hunt meeting, WEST DQME, has been racing with remarkable consistency. Airforce has shown fair form at times and so has Barrington, but the top-weight looks a class above the others. «*# # * . As a pipe-opener for the National Hurdles, the Trial Hurdles will claim more than ordinary interest. Llyn Du does not seem to be able to carry weight and Zippor looks more likely to become a master of poundage. It is considered that ZIPPOR should have won a race at Trentham and there are not a few wiseacres prepared to include him among the promising jumpers in the National Hurdles. If he is as good as his admirers would have him, he should not find it hard to beat Disrank, whose form at Awapuni was good.
On his recent form at South Canterbury and in the Homeby .Steeplechase, the majority will regard RADIAC as a good bet in the Enfield Steeplechase, and in the light of that form he should not experience any great difficulty in accounting for Corneroff (if reserved) and Diana’e Lad.
