Ascot, under llst lalb, being quite good enough to stand

Male ere little more than questions of whether Loardows
or Auguste, the former trained within • very few miles of
the mums, will be pulled out. The Nursery Handicap,
three-qaarten of a mile, is certain to bring forth two or three
good two-year-olds from among the light weight., though it
will require a pretty fair use to beat Staghouod (6st 121 b)
who @bowed himself, at Worcester, to be as good a home as
the Goodwood Nursery winner, Life Guardsman ; sod Am-
bition's Set 71b will hardly prevent her getting • " place."
On Thursday the Brighton Club will hold their meeting ;
but there is no calculating whether it will be good or bad,
only two events having closed se yet, and these are not
likely to produce very lively meth, Eltham baring only
Pantaloon to beat for the Sixth Biennial, whilst the Seventh
is at the mercy of Gladiator. Lewes will tried up the
Sussex racing touron Friday and Saturday, and worthily so,
if the eleven stakes yet to be completed have good entries

having been published at this witting, there are only two
items in the list that can be dealt with ; and these can be
eerily discussed, Nutrition having too much the best of the

Redae being too good for the elder hones in . the County
