COLLEEN BAWN II
Th 9 chief event at Northampton is on the second
day, Wednesday, when the Great Northamptonshire
Stakes is set for decision, distance l. miles. Keir
heads the list with 9st 31b, and Althorp carries the
minitnum of sst 71b. Louis D'Or Bst Gll3 on some of
his form last year is nicely treated, and the same
may be said of Edlington 7st, but the pick of the
handicap would be Cosmos 63t 131 b, if
he was only sound, but I am afraid to trust him
through his infirmity. Irony is doing good work
for this event, and two leniently treated 4 year olds
are Penguin and Posteript fist 21b. Stoneeliuk on
his form at the late Gosforth Park Meeting, where
he ran Gannet to a head reads dangerous, and if I

wrong on the nay.
