They were away to an even start and after running to the three in 50 tney came home easily in 42a to complete in 1.32 i. They went smoothly throughout and they were under no pressure at the finish. Beaupartir u improving all the time and Tne Bigot, cannot be far from his top form Beaupartir is to be ridden by W Jenkins at Trentham. Old Surrey (P. Rae) galloped seven on his own and he took 53 for tne first half-mile, coming home well in 41 to complete in 1.34. He is in great, order at present, and the schooling he had has done him no harm.
