"HUNCHBACKS" HANDICAP
The first leg of the Daily Double 1sa six-furlongs race for "D" and "E" Class subscription griffins of 1939 and in my opinion, the finish will be fought out between Willy- nilly and Portrush. Bath these candidates are fit although I thing the latter is slightly the better of the two, at the moment: To those looking for something to beat the favourites, I recommend. West Lake. I do not entertain much hope for Bogey, King's Envoy or Wild Bear, while. Some Hope is reported to be a doubtful starter. Smiling Time, if ridden by Mr. Wei, should not be entirely neglected, Wilber. Bressay and Phoenix are others with outside chances.
