The majority of trainers were content to give their now subu some slow work to begin with. Impressive runners among this class were Deemster, Wadebridge, Lion Hunter, Winkfield, Chow Mia and Invincible Knight. Wadebridge was particularly good with his mile effort.
Mr. Pearce's Trowbridge is considered one of the beat griffins now in training. The pony did a slow six furlong gallop but finished strongly in 30 seconds. Another grifin, Iron Cross, covered the mile in falt time and finished well.
