Tiny Star, sub, champion, is conceding 5 lb. to Classic Hall, con sidered by many to be the best of the 1934 batch, and it is doubtful whether he will be able to win under this penalty. Surprise is in at the same weight'as Tiny Star, and Young Chap, a distinct possibility, is having the advantage of 12 lb. It should be an excellent race in which jockeyship will play no small part. -
The "double" is not easy to select, as it is unknown yet whether Sadko is starting over the six furlongs er 11⁄2 miles. Should he start in the sprint event, however, I favour Navy. Hall's chances, and Bran Tub for the "second leg."
