Lord Derby's four-year-old, Bobsleigh, was third two lengths behind.

Bugger Player At Bowls

JS RIDDELL, who played in the second row of the pack for the Colony Rugby side in the Inter- ports against Shanghai In 1929 and 1930, and who was one of the founders of the now defunct Kow- loon Rugby Football Club, has now given up all forms of sport except lawn bowls. He plays regularly for the Police Recreation Club and is one of their skips in the second division of the League.

There is one certainty about Noble King-there will be no doubt about his staying the course at Epsom.

Taj „Akbar did not show much form last year, and in his first race this season. in heavy going at Kempton Park, he was beaten by Couvert. Then he beat Rhodes Scholar at Epsom, and then he cantered away with the Chester Vase, a race which was won by Windsor Lad, Hyperion and Papyrus before they went on to success at Epsom.

No Excuse For Thankerton

There was no particular excuse for Thankerton, whose Derby chance is thought so highly of in the North, for he settled down second while Shirley Anne made the running.
