M’Rae) were associated in a schooling bout over the steeplechase course. They commenced at the brush fence near the mile post, Master Arch giving the other two a number of lengths’ start. They cleared the double on the hill and finished up over the fences on the fiat. Master Arch being slightly in front of Foxhound, who came to grief at the last fence (the stonewall). Lovely Boy, who was following him several lengths back, whipped round owing to Foxhound struggling on the ground on the far side of the obstacle directly in front of him.
