NATIONAL HURDLES DAY PADDON AND NUKUMAI FANCIED COLONEL CYGNUS FOR ISLINGTON. (By “Hurry On.”) Racing will be continued at Riccarton to-day, when the principal event on the programme will be the Grand National Hurdle Race. Th© programme will commence with the

Okapua and Peterette look like fighting out the finish here, but both Postman and Calham are likely to improve.

The issue here looks very open. Woodfull and Normandy were unlucky the first day, while Molten went a good race into third position in the Cashmere Plato. Likely, improvers are execution, Irish Chieftain, and Rebel Song. Probably Woodful I ], Normandy and Irish Chieftain will b. beat supported.

On his National showing Luces's is likely to be a hot order here, with, Royal Visitor and Snowfall also carrying good money. ■SPREYDON HURDLES. Of £l6O, One mile and three-quarters. Dainty Nine of Ways 11 8 Spade© 9 5 This looks like being somewhat in the nature of a farce, for Nine of Spades’ only chance would appear to be that Dainty Ways may fall.

The . running on Tuesday said something for the chances of Nukumai, Nassock, Membo, Morena and Pahu, but Paddon will- be there to show that his Wellmgton form was no mere flash in the pan. He will carry more support than Nukumai and Nassock..

Lord Vai on Trentham form should go well despite his weight. Most opposition is likely to come from Beacon Fire, Merry Peel and Ranelagh.

Gay Court is such an honest sort that ‘he must be respected, but Knock? long, Kinde, Consono and Night Recital are all likely to run the distance right out. Backers will probably support Elude, Gay Court and Knocklong. 7

This , event gives the handicap horses their chance, Compris and Fast Passage have their full share of weight, and Ramo may not be quite, ready yet. Retract’s fine win at Trentham will not be forgotten, but he may not be able to give 71b to Colonel Cygnus. Minerval, Rayin© and Craigavon all have chances. However, it looks as if Colonel Cygnus will have more friend® than Retract and Minerval,
