st. lb.
MAYANA 9 7 Digby.
AVIGNON 9 3 Harris.
WISE UNCLE 8 7 Holmes (O.)
PERIWIG 7 7 Benny.
BEATUS 7 0 Peters.
In Nurseries, Weight-for-age races and so on I make it a rule to give
only one selection, but in a struggle of this importance I expect to
receive a little more latitude. Of these, then, I take Mayana and
Periwig to beat the field. At the same time I feel strongly that Wise
Uncle's form at Kempton was not correct, and that he will nearly win,
if he can beat Beatus, who seems to be let in nicely at 7 st. All the
above will be triers, but it is doubtful whether any amount of trying
will enable them to beat Avignon, whose chances I am content to
support. I conclude by wishing my readers a good time over this race.
