shortly afterwards retired from the front, followed in a
few strides further on by Lady Valentino and Guardsman.
This left Radcliffe with the lead, closely attended by
Troublesome and Crossbow on his left, and Jack o'Lantern
on the upper ground. The lot ran in close company to the

mile bottom gave way to King Charming, the pair being
followed by Camball, Crisis, Ackworth, and Deerfoot to
the cords ; Peeress and the Baron's colt then gave way,
and Crisis, patiently ridden by Covey, came up on the
whip hand of the Count's colt, and when half way up got

who always appeared to have the best of it, winning at last
by a neck; King Charming finished second, three lengths
