With regard the Valleys. Mowgli has been established a firm favourite in the lotteries, but I see no reason to desert Mr. Relyon's iron-grey. I have long had a liking for Flying Star and he, is certain to run prominently. Mowgli strikes me as a typic stayer, but should get a place.

Undoubt culy he could win if he would give of his
best.
The Trials, on public performances, should be a gilt for Local Option. But if he is beaten. Chicago will probably prove the mesna.
The probable absence of Rialto Star bas deprived the Garrison Cup of any real opposition to Loen Rannoch, whose task should prove an easy one, despite the 7lbs. penalty.
For some hidden reason, last night, Jungle Cock found staunch support for the Garrison Cup. 1 should strongly advise pusters to leave him out of the Teckoning even for place money. A pony with a good outside chance for a place is Monitor, who may be started here.
In the Chater Cup, Rothesay and Spotted Band can renew old rivalries with Bivorgrass as a distinct source of danger. Even if Fern Leaf is sent out, I do not fancy he will prove as formid-1 able us of yore. At any rate, on his last public performance, he is held sale by the three named.
