the race for the Subscription Griffins' Challenge Cup even more open than it was orignally. Though I still favour the chances of National Day over his favourite distance, Gay, Butteilly, Golden Dragon, or Partnership may quite easily cause an upset.

Flying Boy's convincing gallop early yesterday morning makes him a very useful outside bet, if he starts, while Gay Butterfly's out- slanding display yesterday has placed him among the favourites,

My selection for the "double" is National Day and Mr. Frost's mount, or Gay Butterfly and Mr. Frost's mount. A "long-shot double" which would prove very profitable would be Partnership and Mike.
