London, September

If the consensus of opinion of owners and trainers is.. any criterion to go by, the St. Leger is a certainty for the Derby winner, Hyperion, but this race is famous for sur prises as witness the failure of Cameronian and Orwell. Lambton the trainer of Hyperion, Highlander and Scarlet Tiger, says all is well and sound with his horses, though Hyperion has proved that he is no smasher on hard going!"

Dawson, trainer of Harinera, says his horse will run well but he cannot see Harinero or any other horse beat. ing Hyperion.

Bell, the trainer of King Salmon says the same of bis charge.

Behrens, the owner of Light Sussex, says his candidate,

H.H. The Aga Khan, whose sensational luck last year is still fresh in the minds of racegoers, says with regard to Felicitation's chances of winning that the horse has no Hope of beating Hyperion or King Salmon.-

"Alfred Butt is not optimistic of the chances of Young Löver.

Lawson, the trainer of Donasol, Earlston and Ray- mond, says his charges are thriving.

Sir Abe Bailey, the owner of Raymond expects a pro minent display and is the more confident because the cham- pion jockey (Gordon Richards) is riding his horse.

The owner of Interlace and Sanspeine, says the latter has a habit of springing surprises!

If one refers back to the Free Handicap, compiled at the end of last season, it will be seen that Scarlet Tiger was handicapped at 8 st. 11 lb.- and Light Sussex at 8 st. 4 lb. Thus they were meeting last week on exactly the same terms as they would have done had they run for the Free Handicap in the Spring.

He was backed in this country at long prices after his success in, the French Derby, and any strong move in his direc- tion will take him into second favouritism.
