He took the lead early on, but after a quarter of a mile, slowed down con-. siderably to allow the others to draw level. Tonbridge took the lead from the lock and grad- ually, but steadily, increased it on the run home, winning finally by two lengths Tango and Bridge Hall had a neck-to-neck tussle for second place, Mr. Heard en Bridge Hall ultimately. getting the verilict by a short head...
